**Fort Wayne Komets Terminate Contracts of Two Players Due to Off-Ice Issues**
In a surprise move, the Fort Wayne Komets of the ECHL have announced the termination of contracts for two players, citing off-ice issues that have impacted the team’s performance and overall morale.
Forwards, [Player Name] and [Player Name], had been with the Komets since the 2020-21 season, but their actions off the ice have led to the decision to release them from their contracts. The team has not specified the exact nature of the issues, but it is believed that both players were involved in a dispute with teammates and coaches that had been simmering for several weeks.
“We take these matters very seriously and will not tolerate any behavior that undermines the team’s success or creates a toxic environment,” said Komets General Manager, [GM’s Name]. “We appreciate the contributions both players made to our team, but we must prioritize the well-being and chemistry of our remaining players.”
The Komets have struggled on the ice this season, with a record of 12-20-2, and this move is seen as a bid to shake up the roster and restore morale. The team has called up two players from their ECHL affiliate in Toledo, Ohio, to replace the terminated players.
The Komets’ fans are divided on the decision, with some expressing support for the team’s stance and others feeling that the players were unfairly treated. The team’s next game is scheduled for Friday night at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum.
