K's coaching update: Team, Boudreau still negotiating
Ben Boudreau has been hard at work putting together the roster that will attempt to defend the Komets’ Kelly Cup Championship. So far, Boudreau and general manager David Franke have eight players signed for the team’s 70th season, which begins Oct. 23 at Memorial Coliseum against the Wheeling Nailers.
The question still remains: Will Boudreau be the coach?
Boudreau and the Komets were negotiating a new contract even before the Komets cemented their championship July 2 with a 2-1 Game 4 victory over the South Carolina Stingrays at the Coliseum. Boudreau’s existing contract was extended through this month to give the sides time to talk further, and so Boudreau could keep working on this season’s roster, but they still haven’t been able to find common ground.
