Komets add hard-hitting forward

Fort Wayne, IN— The Fort Wayne Komets announced today that forward Yanick Turcotte has signed a contract for the 2024-25 season. Defenseman Nick Parody and goaltender Francis Boisvert have agreed to try-outs. Training camp for the Komets will begin on Monday, October 7. 

Turcotte, 28, comes to Fort Wayne straight off a Hungarian Championship with Ferencvárosi TC, where he led the league in penalty minutes with 140. The rugged forward has played 155 ECHL games with Adirondack, Worcester, and South Carolina, scoring 29 points (six goals, 23 assists) while racking up 607 penalty minutes. The 196 pound lefty played in seven AHL games with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, amassing 38 penalty minutes. 

Parody, 26, split last season with Fayetteville of the SPHL and Rapid City. The left-shooting defender scored 10 points in 51 games with the Marksmen, while registering one assist in 12 games with the Rush. 

Boisvert (bwah-vare), 25, played five seasons in the NCAA, most recently with current Komet defenseman Mitch Andres at Robert Morris University. Last season, Boisvert had a career year with RMU, with a record of 3-4 in 13 games, a save percentage of .926, a goals-against average of 3.12, and one assist.
