The Fort Wayne Komets held their 2011 End-of-Season party and Jersey Auction Wednesday night at the Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne.
Komet veteran defenseman Guy Dupuis' #2 sweater garnished the highest bid for the second straight year at $2,750.
21 Komet jerseys were auctioned for a total of $16,950.
Specialty items including a 2010-11 Komets scrapbook, a set of three P.C. Drouin proto-type bobbleheads and the Komets Christmas Tree displayed in the 2009 Festival of Trees yielded an additional $1,375.
The game-worn jerseys and various specialty items auctioned combined for a total amount raised of $18,325.
