Wendy's guest for next week's "Fans in the Stands" Komets Game of the Week interview will be Staff Sgt. Mark Boner. Boner is a member of the Indiana National Guard and attended high school locally, graduating from Elmhurt here in Fort Wayne. He also played hockey himself as a teenager at McMillan Ice Arena. Boner attained notoriety amongst Komets fans when he made a video of himself raising the Komets flag while stationed in Iraq. The clip was first shown to fans in December of 2008. Boner was not able to see the last two championship games in person because of being overseas, but he was able to listen in live on the internet and watch recordings of the games. Like many fans, he is hoping for a three-peat, but with even more reason than most. Boner also took part in the "Komets Kare Package" program earlier this season and will discus it's current status. Remember to tune in to Comcast 55 or Verizon Fios 25 on Wednesday, January 6 at 8 PM or Thursday, January 7 at 4 AM or 12 noon to learn more about Boner and his experiences as a devoted Komets fan as well as a proud member of the Indiana National Guard.
