The Komets Lose Friend and Board Member

Mike Mulvaney

The Kawartha Komets have lost a wonderful friend, encourager, board member and stalwart supporter.  Mike Mulvaney passed away on Thursday, December 8th, 2011.

Mike was "on-board" with the Komets right from the outset of our Special Needs Hockey Program.  He gave us such wise counsel as we launched the Komets and served proudly and willingly on our board.  Because of Mike's influence we received the backing of the Peterborough Community Church Hockey League (PCCHL).  Through his generosity and kindness we were given many hours of free ice time courtesy of Mike and the PCCHL.

In the early days of the Kawartha Komets we were invited to speak at the Scott's Plains Kiwanis Club where Mike was a faithful, committed member.  That club got behind the Komets and they were one of our 1st sponsors, helping to launch the program.


Words cannot express how much we will miss Mike, his wise counsel, his friendship and his positive attitude.  Mike was loved and respected by many in our community and will be sadly missed.

Our prayers go out to his wife Diane and their children and grandchildren.

- David & Carol Fisher, Matthew & Nathan, the Kawartha Komets Board of Directors and all the players.
