| Komets History The 1980's | ||||
 The 1980's were a time for changes - both within the structure of the Komets as well as the league. During the decade, ownership of the franchise changed four times and financial difficulties forced one owner to file bankruptcy. Only four of the franchises which started the 1980's were around to greet the 1990's- Fort Wayne, Kalamazoo, Milwaukee and Muskegon. But the league expanded its boundaries as far west as Salt lake. The National Hockey League also became involved, adopting seven of the nine teams as primary farm clubs. While the recession which started in the early 1980's put the franchise on thin ice financially, from a competitive standpoint things were much better. MORE |
