The '''Evansville IceMen''' were a professional [[ice hockey|hockey]] team based in [[Evansville, Indiana]]. The team folded in 2010, as IceMen owner Ron Geary purchased the [[Muskegon Lumberjacks (1992–2010)]] of the [[International Hockey League (2007-)|International Hockey League]] and moved the team to Evansville, taking on the name "[[Evansville IceMen]]".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ism3.infinityprosports.com/ismdata/2009062901/std-sitebuilder/sites/200901/www/en/news/index.html?article_id=901|title = Infinity Sports and Entertainment &#124; Home}}</ref><ref>[http://www.courierpress.com/news/2008/may/11/icemen-are-flagship-franchise/ IceMen are 'flagship franchise' : Local Sports : Evansville Courier Press]</ref><br />
<br />
The AAHL IceMen played their home games at [[Swonder Ice Arena]] in Evansville.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The IceMen were one of the four founding members of the [[All American Hockey League (2008–2011)|All American Hockey League]]. The IceMen were scheduled to play in the inaugural 2008-2009 season of the [[Midwest Hockey League]]. However, the league folded prior to the start of the season. The IceMen, along with the [[Motor City Gamblers]] (later the [[Detroit Dragons]]), left the fledgling league to join two other financially sound teams from the recently folded [[Mid-Atlantic Hockey League]]. The result, was the formation of the [[All American Hockey League (2008–2011)|All American Hockey League]], which is a lower level professional minor league affiliated with the [[International Hockey League (2007-)|International Hockey League]].<br />
<br />
On February 14, 2009, The IceMen set an AAHL scoring record in a 24-4 win over the [[Chicago Blaze (ice hockey)|Chicago Blaze]]. Also on February 14, 2009, Evansville goalie [[Kira Hurley]]'s third period assist made her the first female goaltender to earn a point in a men's professional hockey game. In recognition of her historic accomplishment, Hurley's game-worn jersey and game-used stick are immortalized in the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]] in [[Toronto]].<ref>[http://theaaha.com/news/archives/90-hurleytohalloffame.html IceMen Woman Into the Hall of Fame] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090926123035/http://theaaha.com/news/archives/90-hurleytohalloffame.html |date=September 26, 2009 }}</ref><br />
<br />
On August 15, 2009, the IceMen unveiled their new logo, replacing the previous logo's polar bear.<ref>[http://theaahl.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=183:icemennewlogo&catid=38:pressreleases&Itemid=133 IceMen Unveil New Look And Logo]</ref><br />
<br />
On April 15, 2010, the IceMen defeated the [[West Michigan Blizzard]] 4 - 3, closing the championship series 4 -1 to win the 2010 AAHL [[Rod Davidson Cup]].<ref>[http://www.courierpress.com/news/2010/apr/16/victory-on-ice/ IceMen win 2010 Davidson Cup]</ref><br />
<br />
On June 22, 2010 the IceMen disbanded after the announcement that the IceMen owner purchased the rights to the [[Muskegon Lumberjacks (1992–2010)|Muskegon Lumberjacks]] franchise, from the [[International Hockey League (2007-)|IHL]] to take on the [[Evansville IceMen|same name]].<br />
