New Vegas Affiliate Brings Rich History By Dave Lukow The Fort Wayne Komets have been around a bit. The ECHL affiliate of the Vegas Golden Knights, the Komets began play - as members of the International Hockey League (IHL) - in 1952-53. More than six decades later, the hockey team is part of the landscape in the Indiana city it calls home. On August 21, Fort Wayne announced the one-year affiliation with the Golden Knights. The Chicago Wolves of the AHL are the top farm club for Vegas. “We are proud to add the ECHL’s Fort Wayne Komets as an affiliate,” George McPhee, the Vegas general manager, said. “ECHL clubs play an important role in player development. Our young players and prospects will have the opportunity to grow and improve in both Fort Wayne at the ECHL level and then in Chicago at the American Hockey League level.” Members of the ECHL since 2012, the Komets, in addition to the IHL, have played in the United Hockey League (UHL) and the Central Hockey League (CHL). Fort Wayne has won 12 regular season titles, has captured 12 division crowns, and has claimed nine championships, including seven in the IHL. Last season, the Komets were 46-20-5-1, good for 98 points and second place in the Central Division. They were eliminated in the third round of the playoffs. Fort Wayne’s average attendance was 7,784 per game, best in the ECHL. Gary Graham has been the club’s head coach since the 2013-14 season. He led the Pensacola Ice Flyers to an SPHL championship the previous year. Graham was a member of the Pittsburgh Jr. Penguins in 1997-98. Only the six original NHL teams - Montreal, Toronto, Boston, the New York Rangers, Detroit and Chicago - and the AHL’s Hershey Bears have played pro hockey continuously in the same city with the same name longer than the Komets. Fort Wayne plays home games at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. .

Chicaggo Wolves Game Notes
2020-21 Chicago Wolves Game Notes GRAND RAPIDS AT CHICAGO FEB. 11, 2021 2 P.M. AHLTV.COM DON’T SLEEP ON PITLICK 2020-21 During the Chicago Wolves’ fast start, a lot of attention has been paid to the team’s teenagers — which TALE OF THE TAPE makes sense because there are several of them and they’ve been plenty good through the first three REGULAR-SEASON SERIES games. But it’s not like the rest of the roster belongs to AARP. 0-1-0-0 Grand Rapids | 1-0-0-0 Chicago LAST MEETING Take center Rem Pitlick, for example. He made his NHL debut with the Nashville Predators on March Feb. 5, 2021 25, 2019 — shortly before his 22nd birthday. The Ottawa native then scored 20 goals in 63 games last year for the AHL’s Milwaukee Admirals during his first year as a pro. Nashville’s 2016 third-round pick has served as head coach Ryan Warsofsky’s first-line center for all three games and has been terrific at both ends of the ice. Pitlick shares the American Hockey League 0-1-0-0 3-0-0-0 lead with three goals and has earned the game-winning goal in each of the last two games — both of them breakaway goals that looked remarkably similar. His game-winner Tuesday against Rockford LEADING SCORERS came on shorthanded when he pounced on a loose puck at the Wolves’ blue line. GRAND RAPIDS CHICAGO Skater G A Pts Skater G A Pts “So ‘Pitter,’ he’s got some really good tools as I’m just learning myself,” said Warsofsky, who did not Criscuolo 1 0 1 Tomasino 2 3 5 see Pitlick play last year while serving as the Charlotte Checkers’ head coach.
