Jason Marquardt: Friday, December 18, 2009
Nine-year-old Jason Marquardt has been a Komets fan for three years and plays hockey himself in a local mite league as a defenseman. He has worked with several Komets players who volunteer their time to help instruct young people interested in the sport of hockey. On the night the interview was taped, his team was on the verge of it's own championship playoff run and the Christmas holidays were right around the corner.
Staff Sgt. Mark Boner: Thursday, December 31, 2009
Staff Sgt. Mark 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. Boner also took part in the "Komets Kare Package" program earlier this season and discusses its status.
