The Utica Comets' perfect record this season ends as the team was defeated, 4-to-2 by the Rochester Americans at the Adirondack Bank Center on November 24, 2021.
A 12-week-old yellow Labrador named Comet, in training to be a guide dog for the blind and visually impaired through Freedom Guide Dogs, is the newest member of the Utica Comets.
The Utica Comets are on the verge of matching a record for the best start in American Hockey League history, and the team that holds the record now will be standing in their way on the ice Wednesday night.
The Utica Comets have won their tenth straight victory. On Sunday, November 14, 2021 they beat the Belleville Senators in Belleville by a score of 4 to 1.
“We could not be more genuinely excited to welcome Kevin as the third coach in Comets history,” Comets President Robert Esche said in a statement announcing the hire.
