Fort Wayne, IN — The Komets announced Wednesday that two Fort Wayne natives have agreed to terms and will be on the roster when training camp gets underway in October for the 2009-10 IHL campaign.

Defenseman Brandon Warner has been re-signed to his third season with the Komets.  Warner, 26, is coming off an injury-shortened season appearing in 26 games during 2008-09 scoring seven goals and 14 points while posting 27 penalty minutes.  "Brandon was off to a great start last season but his year was cut short because of a lingering hip injury, " Fort Wayne's general manager David Franke said.  "He is 100% now and we expect a breakout season from Brandon.  I know he's excited to being healthy and re-signing with the Komets."

Warner skated 59 games during 2007-08 with Fort Wayne and appeared in all 13 post-season games enroute to the 2008 Turner Cup Championship.

Forward Kaleigh Schrock has inked an agreement with the Komets for his pro debut in the upcoming season.  Schrock, 24, has skated with Newmann College in NCAA Division III play the past four seasons.  "Kaleigh is another product of the Fort Wayne youth hockey program and we are going to give him a good opportunity to make the club," Franke said.

Schrock completed 2008-09 as captain of the Knights skating 26 games and scoring four goals and eight points before taking the 2009 Division III Men's Ice hockey NCAA Title in the post-season.

With the additions of Warner and Schrock, the Komets have three players signed to the 2009-10 roster.  Defenseman Danko Mironovic was announced last week. 

The Komets will open their defense of the IHL Turner Cup championship when the 58th season of Komet Hockey in Fort Wayne gets underway in October.  Season tickets, at a savings over walk-up prices, are on sale at the Komet office at 1010 Memorial Way in Fort Wayne.  Season ticket packages include all 38 regular season home games and two pre-season games.  For information fans can visit www.Komets.com or call the Komet office at 260-483-0011.
