Forward Alex D’Aoust is heading overseas for the third time in his career as he spent the 2020-21 season in Slovakia and played in Sweden and Germany during the 2022-23 season. He will be heading to the UK this time to join the Manchester Storm. He becomes the seventh player from the Fort Wayne Komets to take the overseas since the season ended, joining Tyler Parks, Ture Linden, Zach Andrusiak, Brogan O’Brien, and Martin Has. Despite this, Fort Wayne has been one of the busier teams this off-season, as they already have 23 players signed to contracts for next season.

The 28-year-old forward has spent four seasons in the ECHL, putting up 59 goals and 64 assists for 123 points in 154 games while making stops with the Jacksonville Icemen, Trois-Rivieres Lions, and Fort Wayne Komets. He would add three goals and two assists for five points in seven career Kelly Cup Playoff Games. D’Aoust has also seen 124 games of AHL action with the Utica Comets, Manitoba Moose, Charlotte Checkers, Belleville Senators, Providence Bruins, Lehigh Valley Phantoms, and Grand Rapid Griffins.
