The team was previously a member of the International Hockey League before it merged into the CHL in 2010. The Komets also played in the previous incarnation of the International Hockey League from 1952 until 1999, when they joined the United Hockey League (which took the IHL name in 2007). They have won seven post-season championship titles in the IHL in 1963, 1965, 1973, 1993, 2008, 2009 and 2010 with one in the UHL in 2003. They play their home games at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The current Komets franchise (formerly the Flint Spirits) replaced the original Fort Wayne Komets that relocated and became the Albany Choppers in 1990 before folding in that same season. In all of North American professional hockey, only the Original Six teams of the NHL and the Hershey Bears of the AHL have played continuously in the same city with the same name longer than the Komets.

Fort Wayne Komets join the ECHL, Dayton Gems ceased
Current CHL champion Fort Wayne Komets announced that the franchise has withdrawn from the Central Hockey League and has been admitted as a member of the ECHL. The Fort Wayne membership will take flight with the 2012-13 ECHL season.
The Dayton Gems announced they were ceasing operations and that a new team playing in Federal Hockey League will be estabilished in Dayton.
Along with the move of Evansville from CHL to ECHL, these changes reflect the end of two-year agreement between the CHL and the defunct International Hockey League (IHL). Among the former IHL teams Bloomington Blaze and Quad City Mallards have signed long-term CHL agreements, while Dayton, Evansville and Fort Wayne are no longer affiliated with the CHL.
