Schaafsma Named Komets Captain

Blenheim’s Jamie Schaafsma will again captain an ECHL team this season, after his new team, the Fort Wayne Komets named the veteran team captain prior to their season opener.

“So honoured to be named captain of the Fort Wayne Komets. Excited to start our season and our quest for the #KellyCup,” wrote Schaafsma on Twitter.

Schaafsma captained the ECHL’s Allen Americans to a Kelly Cup championship last year scoring 17 goals and 32 assists in 72 games.

The Komets open their 2015-2016 season with a home and home against the Kalamazoo Wings October 16 on the road, and at home October 17.
