WPTA , Channel 21 is reporting that Colin Chaulk is announcing his retirement.
As I did two years ago, I'm going to jail for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. They sent out this long form letter that I'm supposed to send you that tugs at the heartstrings in an attempt to get you to donate. I'm not going to use it. Trying to guilt people into donating seems wrong to me. I'll just say I'm doing this again because it's a worthy cause, and the kids deserve it and leave it at that.
They will be inducted into the Indiana Sportswriters and Sportscasters Hall of Fame on Saturday!

The recent Komet Legends game against Toledo will air on Access Fort Wayne Access 1, ch 25/55 Wednesday Night at 8pm and Thursday at Noon. Your announcers Blake Sebring and Randi Marcom will share the stories and cover play by play of Komet Legends vs the Toledo Legends.
