| Komets History The 1990's | ||||
 The 1990s were very difficult for the Komets at the start and end of the decade, but everything in the middle was wonderful. After a long and bitter dispute with the MemorialColiseum, Komets owner, David Welker, received permission from the IHL to move the team to Albany, New York, in June 1990. That started a month of intense speculation and worry from Komets fans as IHL Commissioner Thomas Berry promised there would be hockey in Fort Wayne the next season.On July 11, 1990, the Franke brothers - Stephen, Michael, David -announced they had purchased the defunct Flint Spirits and moved them to Fort Wayne as the new Komets. The new owners promised a return to "Old-time Komet Hockey," and they delivered. Eventually brothers Bill and Richard also joined the ownership team. Sims remained as coach and built a tough team that included holdovers Colin Chin, Carey Lucyk and Bob Lakso, and added sniper Lonnie Loach and NHL veterans Bruce Boudreau and John Anderson. MORE |
