HIGH FLYING OFFENSE
The IceMen have been scoring goals at an incredible rate over the past two weeks. Evansville has scored 25 goals in its last five games, including five or more goals in four straight home games. Each time the IceMen score five or more goals at home, all fans in attendance have five days to present their ticket stub at Lucas Oil Center for a free car wash. Since December 4, Evansville has scored 35 goals in seven games. The IceMen dropped a heartbreaker 6-5 in overtime Wednesday at the Ford Center to the Atlanta Gladiators.
WHO’S #1?
With two more goals Wednesday on the man-advantage against Atlanta, the IceMen now have the ECHL’s top-ranked power play. Evansville is converting over 22 percent of its power plays, and has scored on ten of its last 20 opportunities.
IN PLAYOFF CONTENTION
The IceMen are one third of the way through the regular season and have pushed their way into the playoff race. Evansville is four points out of the eighth place team in the Western Conference, Idaho. After Wednesday’s game, the IceMen are just three points behind Fort Wayne and two points back of Indy and Tulsa.
MORE FUEL
For the fourth and fifth time this season, Evansville hosts its Hoosier State rival, the Indy Fuel Friday and Saturday night. Indy won the first two meetings at the Ford Center 3-1 October 17 and 3-0 November 4, but the IceMen defeated the Fuel 4-2 November 6. After Saturday’s game, the two teams play six more times in Indianapolis the rest of the season. The Fuel have lost ten of their last 11 games, including a 5-1 defeat Wednesday at Toledo. Indy’s last win was a 3-2 overtime victory Friday in Fort Wayne.
CHEYENNE’S HOPE FARM SANCTUARY FUNDRAISER
Head Coach Al Sims, his wife Sue, and the Evansville IceMen are proud to support Cheyenne’s Hope Farm Sanctuary and the Hebejebe Bluegrass Standardbred Retirement Organization. Representatives from the two organizations that specialize in animal rescue will be collecting donations and selling Chuck-a-Pucks at Friday’s game. Coach Sims and Cheyenne’s Hope Farm’s ambassador dog, Bishop, will be going on the ice before the game for the ceremonial puck drop.
TEDDY BEAR TOSS
Then Saturday is Evansville’s annual Teddy Bear Toss game, where fans are encouraged to bring new or gently used teddy bears in plastic bags to the game. When the IceMen score their first goal, fans will throw the teddy bears onto the ice and the IceMen will donate those to 911 Gives Hope and other local children’s charities.
