“The Komet schedule for the 2024-2025 season may be one the of the best we’ve ever had,” said General Manager David Franke. “Melanie Carney, the Coliseum general manager, provided us with very good dates to select from for the home portion of our schedule. Our road schedule is very manageable and features a three-game trip to Lake Tahoe.”

Some of the Komet's road opponents include Kansas City, Tulsa, Wichita, and the league’s new expansion teams, Lake Tahoe and Bloomington.

“The Friday night start change from 8:00 p.m. to 7:35 p.m. was done on input from fans, players, and team staff. The earlier start time will allow for an earlier end to the game and getting out of the building earlier,” said Franke.
