Komets ink former Icehawk forwards Patrosso, Naurato
Fort
Wayne, IN | Wednesday, June 30, 2010 --- The
Komets announced Wednesday that former Port Huron Icehawk
forwards Derek Patrosso and Brandon Naurato have agreed to terms and
will be in a Fort Wayne uniform when the puck drops on 2010-11.
Patrosso, 25, will be entering his third pro year after skating the
last two campaigns with the Icehawks in Port Huron. Last year
the right winger ranked second in Port Huron scoring with a career
high 70 points in 71 games netting 30 goals and passing 40 assists
while earning 94 penalty minutes. Patrosso was one of the
leaders of the Icehawk's special teams posting 20 power play points
(8g, 12a) and two short-handed goals while completing the season
with a plus-16.
Naurato, 25, made his pro debut last season appearing in five ECHL
games with Toledo before joining Port Huron. The skater scored
25 goals, 46 points and 38 penalty minutes and topped the Icehawks
with 11 power play goals. Before turning pro, the Livonia,
Michigan native was a member of the University of Michigan
Wolverines in the NCAA for four years from 2005-2009.
Patrosso and Naurato skated all seven Port Huron playoff games
against the Komets in the first round last year. Naurato
scored two goals and six points in his pro playoff debut while
Patrosso registered two goals and three points in post-season play.
Komet camp opens Oct. 4.....The Komets will begin training camp the week of Oct. 4 and
expect to open their 59th consecutive season the weekend of Oct.
16. The Komets will continue to be a member of the
International Hockey League and participate in the Central
Hockey League under the CHL moniker. As announced by
the IHL and CHL June 1, both leagues have joined forces for the
upcoming campaign. The circuit will consist of 13 CHL
teams and five IHL teams for an 18-team coalition.
Season tickets for the 59th season of Fort Wayne Komet Hockey are
now on sale at the Komet's office at 1010 Memorial Way in Fort
Wayne. Fans can enjoy a savings of up to 20% off walk-up
