The Komets have signed forward Justin Hodgman, a 19-year-old forward, who had 37 goals and 80 points in 64 games this season with Erie of the Ontario Hockey League.
He is expected to be in the lineup tonight, when the Komets play at Port Huron, Mich.
- Remember when Fort Wayne fans were clamoring for the team to sign Michel Robinson? Well, he quit on his team in Bakersfield -- in the middle of a game. Click here.
- It's just not as much fun writing about a hockey team from Danbury, Conn., if I can't mention ties to organized crime and wire-tapping of phones. But hockey is back in Danbury, where the United Hockey League used to have a team named the Trashers that played against the Komets and was alleged to have coerced an official with the help of UHL commissioner Richard Brosal. As for the new team, it will play in the new Eastern Professional Hockey League. And get this: The general manager is none other than Brendan Tedstone, the 6-foot-5, roughly 375-pound ex-UHL goon.
- The Flint Generals could soon get a boost from the return of goaltender Chad Alban.

Cohny, nice job today, you getting some extra coaching from Chaulker? Couple Advil PM's and all that Corona should take care of that hand. BTW looks like Tedstone ate Willis, that should account for his extra 75lbs.

I saw that earlier that Robinson quit in the middle of a game. He also went ballistic after giving up a goal. He and his coach got tossed from the game. The coach get tossed by emptying the stick rack onto the ice.

Greg, was that when the goalies mask came off that he got tossed.

Ha, those bottles are so small. Awesome. Good for my small mitts.

I just looked at the game sheet and saw that Chaulk is not dressed. Can anybody shed some light on this? Why isn't he playing again?
Posted by: Kris | March 21, 2008 at 08:12 PM
Kris...I think it involves his wife having a child.

Those were the closest thing to Little Kings...LOL

That B2 announcer is whining so much about FW getting calls. What a jerk.

Chaulk's wife had a daughter; that's why he's not playing.
Posted by: Justin Cohn | March 21, 2008 at 10:02 PM
Curadeau seems healthy.
Posted by: Ryne Gurney | March 21, 2008 at 10:22 PM
chaulk is listed on the 7 day ir and henley is 14 day
Posted by: chuckitt | March 21, 2008 at 10:48 PM
Well here is a question for all of you. Would you rather have chaulk our or curadeau out for game 22?
Posted by: Andy | March 22, 2008 at 02:45 AM
I wish we could of seen Tedstone here in Ft.Wayne. Miss guys like BigSnake-Wingfield-Wagner-Watson.
Posted by: mightbite | March 22, 2008 at 06:30 AM
We did see Tedstone in Fort Wayne. One season for Flint he just did warm-ups and he can't play a lick of hockey or fight. The team had a 4-0 lead on the Komets and he still didn't get a shift. The guy was a joke and Cohn calling him an EX_UHL goon is giving him WAY too much credit. He had what ONE fight? Right? And he lost that one badly and made a fool of himself. The UHL was a joke league and Danbury and Tedstone didn't help it much. Thanks for opening those wounds, Cohn. Let's hope this new IHL doesn't do any of the nonsense that league did.

Thanks- the BigSnake vs. little willis was a good one.
Posted by: mightbite | March 22, 2008 at 04:06 PM
i would rather have chaulk on the ice. no question that vetern leadershop outweighs a hot rookie.
Posted by: chuckitt | March 22, 2008 at 04:53 PM
IcyKometFan, Thanks for reminding me why I am so glad RoFord is out of the UHL/IHL! That color guy was the worst!!! He couldn't even hold Justin's jock strap at calling a game.
(Justin, do you wear a jock strap when you call a game?)

I'm thinking about hitting up the new chipotle Mexican grill. Good food?

He is expected to be in the lineup tonight, when the Komets play at Port Huron, Mich.- Cohn
Cohn, aside from the dumb opinions, are you really so ignorant as to not know that Michigan is MI. not MICH. when you abbreviate it? You claim to be born here, but it looks like your ALL Ft. Wayne now. Or, is stupid just contagious? For you Komets (note the K where a C should be) fans, stupid can't be helped, but ignorance is by choice. Make some better choices...

Hey Ike Turner or URthatstupid...forget to take your Lithium today? It's Easter, there's no whinning about abbreviations on Easter.

Your post was "stu`pid- adjective meaning tediously dull, esp. due to lack of meaning or sense; inane; pointless:"
Posted by: St.Christopher | March 23, 2008 at 01:17 PM
If you guys really had any idea just how close Tedstone was to playing here this season you'd crap yourselves...He got used by Sims like no other.
Posted by: Brandon | March 23, 2008 at 04:34 PM
Yeah right Brandon.
Posted by: TGP | March 24, 2008 at 10:51 AM
St.Christopher, he's right you know.Being from Ft.Wayne is one thing, but why do Komets fans have to act so redneck, and be such poor winners? I've wondered that since I started this.
Posted by: Justin Cohn | March 25, 2008 at 02:23 PM
