Left wing Mike Embach has re-signed and will join the Komets for his fourth consecutive season, and forward Taylor Crunk has agreed to terms, bringing the 2016-17 roster to five players, the team announced today.

Embach, 28, of Orland Park, Illinois, had 23 goals and 30 assists in 54 regular-season games with the Komets, and added five goals and nine assists in 16 playoff games, the team said in a statement.

Embach earned the ECHL Player of the Week award for the week of Dec. 21 and won Fort Wayne's True Komet Award for the third straight year, the statement said.

He was traded to the Komets from Gwinnett shortly after the start of the 2013-14 season.

Crunk, of San Jacinto, California, was added to the Fort Wayne roster in March, the statement said. He had a goal and four assists in eight regular-season games before appearing in one playoff game.

Center Jamie Schaafsma, forward David Friedmann and defenseman Cole Martin were announced last week.
