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. 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 it being the home of the /komets/ manager, warrants it as a brand new team in the /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. After the termination of Vegas' old ECHL affiliate, the Quad City Mallards, the Golden Knights were also looking for an ECHL team to partner with. The Komets had that connection at the time, a connection with a successful coach doing wonders with the newest team at the time in the NHL. 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. Over time, despite the establishment of the Henderson Silver Knights, Vegas' new AHL affiliate, and the firing of Gerard Gallant, the Komets and Golden Knights will continue to be affiliated after renewing their deal on August 7th, 2020.
