At one point this summer the Fort Wayne Komets started looking around for another NHL partner to affiliate with for the 2015-16 season but in the end both teams reached a 2-year agreement to stay together.
"The Komet organization is honored and very excited about our new two-year affiliation with the Colorado Avalanche," Fort Wayne general manager David Franke said. "We had a very good agreement with them last year and they were at the top of our list this summer to continue the relationship. Craig Billington, assistant general manager, and David Oliver, player development director, are great to work with and they understand the value of a good affiliation to both the Avalanche and their AHL affiliate, San Antonio, and the Komets.
