FOUR-TIME KOMET
CHAMPION DUPUIS COMING BACK FOR MORE
Veteran defenseman returns for his 14th year in Fort Wayne
Komets also add Oleksy for 20-man preseason roster
Fort
Wayne, IN | Monday, July 26, 2010 --- The Komets
announced Monday that veteran defenseman Guy Dupuis has agreed to
terms and will return to the Komet lineup for his 14th season in
Fort Wayne and 21st as a pro. Dupuis
began his career in 1990 with Adirondack in the AHL after becoming
Detroit's third choice in the 1988 NHL Entry Draft while a member of
Hull of the QMJHL.
Dupuis, 40, will match Eddie Long's record of
14 seasons as a Komet. The Moncton, New Brunswick native
skated his first season in Fort Wayne during 1991-92 and continued
to guard the Fort Wayne blue line for eight consecutive years until
leaving for an AHL stint in Hersey and IHL visits to Chicago and
Michigan in 1999-00. Dupuis skated two years of German elite
league play in 2000-01 and 2001-02 before returning to the states
for minor league stints with Bakersfield and Kalamazoo.
Dupuis returned to Fort Wayne for the 2005-06 campaign and has
remained to set an all-time Fort Wayne Komets career record of 968
games thru the 2009-10 regular season and playoffs. Dupuis has
also set Fort Wayne career defenseman records of 116 regular season
goals, 505 regular season points, 129 all-time (regular season and
playoffs) goals and 549 all time points.
The award-winning defenseman is a four-time league defenseman of the
year and has been named the Komets' team defenseman of the year
eight times. Dupuis completed 2009-10 tied for IHL leading
defenseman with 14 goals and ranked fourth with 43 points.
The Komets also announced that defenseman Steven Oleksy has been
added to the preseason roster.
Oleksy, 24 (oh-LECK-see), will be entering his second pro season after making his
rookie debut last year in ECHL stints with Toledo and Idaho and with
the IHL's Port Huron Icehawks. The Chesterfield, Michigan
native scored a goal and two points while accumulating 35 penalty
minutes with Port Huron in 28 games.
Oleksy finished the
season with Idaho scoring a goal, eight assists and 72 penalty
minutes during 33 regular season games. Oleksy, the fourth
Michigan native to join the Komets, completed three seasons as a
member of the Lake Superior State University Lakers in the NCAA
before entering the pro ranks last season.
The
Fort Wayne
preseason roster of 20 includes 11 forwards, eight defensemen
and one goaltender.
Home Opener Oct. 16
The
reigning IHL Turner Cup champion Komets will skate their 59th home
opener Saturday, Oct. 16 against last year's CHL champion Rapid City
Rush at 7:30pm. Training camp is slated to begin
Oct. 4.
The Komets will continue to be a member of the
International Hockey League and participate in the Central
Hockey League under the CHL moniker in the Northern Conference. The circuit will consist of 13 CHL
teams and five IHL teams for an 18-team coalition.
