Fort Wayne Komets News Release
Fort Wayne, IN --- The Komets announced Tuesday that defenseman Brent Henley will be back in the Komet fold. Henley, 27, has been forced to delay his start this season due to a knee injury. The 6-foot, 7-inch veteran blueliner will begin practicing with the Komets Nov. 12 and may be able to dress for action as early as Nov. 22. "The return of Brent Henley to the Komets adds a significant physical presence to the team," Komet's general manager David Franke said. "Brent is also a very capable defenseman who will add strong defensive play to an already strong Komet defensive core."
Henley started last season with Pensacola ECHL appearing in 16 games (1g, 5a, 94pim) before signing with the Komets Dec. 22, 2006. The British Columbia native skated 36 games with the Komets last year posting 3 assists and 174 penalty minutes. 2007-08 will be his 7th pro season.
