The Fort Wayne Komets defeated the Muskegon Lumberjacks 4-1 Friday night to capture their sixth Turner Cup Championship as a member of the International Hockey League. The Komets won the series 4-1 to earn their first back-to-back championships in their 57-year franchise history.
Fort Wayne struck early in the first in front of a sellout crowd of 10,480 fans when Justin Hodgman carried the puck around the back of the net, pulling Lumberjacks goaltender Kevin Armstrong to his right, passing to a wide-open Rick Varone who buried it in the open goal. Muskegon defenseman Dan Boeser evened the score with just five seconds left in the opening stanza, scoring a four-on-three power play goal for the Lumberjacks.
