| |
| | align=center|https://youtu.be/bqRxW44MMO0<br>The current equipment manager for the Komets, who suddenly was thrust into a game against the Elmira Jackals as an emergency goaltender. This video contains his entire professional hockey career. Also the owner of a Stanley Cup ring as the equipment manager for the 1990-91 Pittsburgh Penguins.

| |
| | align=center|The Memorial Coliseum seats 10,480 for "the hottest sports ticket in town". Yes, the Komets have called this place home ever since it was built in 1952. It was also the home of the current-day Detroit Pistons, and brings up to 13,000 to watch the NBA G-League's Fort Wayne Mad Ants. From Elvis Presley and Louis Armstrong to KISS, AC/DC, and Metallica, thousands of concerts have been held here in what Komets fans have called "The Jungle" for decades.

| | align=center|'''Robbie Irons'''<br>'''"Three Minute Man"'''
| |
| | align=center|For most hockey players, making it into the NHL is a dream come true. For Robbie Irons, he was able to get on the ice and play goaltender for the fairly new St. Louis Blues in 1968. Although he only played in one game for just three minutes (a former NHL record for shortest career by a goaltender) as the real substitute goalie was suiting up, his time on the ice was enough to solidify his status as one of the few Komets alumni to play in the NHL.

| |
| | align=center|In the world of pro hockey, teams will move about should they feel the need to, for many reason regardless of the level of play. When the owner of the Komets, gravel magnate David Welker, saw a shiny new stadium in Albany, New York, he wanted to go there, and he took away a team rich in Fort Wayne's sports history during the 1990 offseason, renaming it the Albany Choppers, a name granted by the sponsorship of a New York supermarket chain (Price Chopper), only for that same team to roll over and die in the middle of the 1990-91 IHL season. However, Stephen J. Franke, a very influential businessman in the area, quickly made plans to buy the neighboring Flint Spirits and relocate them to Fort Wayne, and he and his family did it within 48 hours of the old team leaving.
