In all of North American professional hockey, only the Original Six teams of the NHL and the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League have played continuously in the same city with the same name longer than the Fort Wayne Komets. Ever since 1952, the Komets have had an excellent history of players and nine championship runs that spans over 65 years of minor league hockey, across four different leagues, and are still a perennial postseason team that brings in hockey fans of the area even to this day. This tradition and deep history behind the Komets, as well as its home being the home of the /komets/ manager, is more than enough to warrant it as a new team in the upcoming /hoc/ League. As the only minor league rep in the /hoc/ League, it's up to the /komets/ to show that hockey below the NHL's level can be equally as exciting!

The Affiliation
After the 2017-2018 ECHL season, the Komets were trying to pursue a new NHL team to partner with, when they remembered a familiar, successful coach doing wonders with the newest team in the NHL, the Vegas Golden Knights. Vegas' head coach Gerard Gallant was a former coach of the Komets. In fact, his assistant coaching stint with them was Gallant's first professional hockey tenure as a coach, long before moving up to the NHL to start coaching duties in Columbus, Montréal and Florida. Both teams expressed excitement moving forward and just like that, the Golden Knights and Komets were affiliated. Even though both teams didn't live up to expectations in the 2018-19 postseason, Vegas extended the affiliation contract on June 7th, 2019, ensuring that some of their future talent will start their pro careers as Komets.
