Avalanche agree to 2-year deal with ECHL's Komets

The Colorado Avalanche and the Fort Wayne Komets of the ECHL renewed their affiliation agreement Tuesday.

The teams agreed to a two-year deal that will see the Komets remain with the organization through the 2016-17 season.

"The Komet organization is honored and very excited about our new two-year affiliation with the Colorado Avalanche," Komets general manager David Franke said in a release. "We had a very good agreement with them last year and they were at the top of our list this summer to continue the relationship."

The Komets remain an affiliate club with the Avalanche alongside the San Antonio Rampage of the American Hockey League.
