Indiana Ice est; 2004-13/14}Celebratng our Ten Year anniversary in the USHL.
Dear Hockey Prospect,
The Indiana Ice has enjoyed a winning traditon in their frst nine years as a member of the United States Hockey League.
Through our focus on excellence on and of the ice, we have built a traditon in junior hockey as one of the premier clubs and
destnatons in all of North America. The USHL recently awarded the USHL Eastern Fall Classic to Indianapolis and we look
forward to hostng all eight member clubs from the Eastern Division the weekend of September 14th, 2013.
As we enter our Ten Year anniversary in the USHL, our resume has included a 2009 Clark Cup Championship, a 2008 East Division
regular season championship and semi-fnalist appearances in 2007 and 2012 and 2010 in the Clark Cup Final Four. In additon,
Indiana was the 2007-2008 USHL Organizaton of the Year and the following summer saw Ice defenseman John Carlson being
drafed in the frst round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draf by the Washington Capitals. In additon to Carlson, the Ice has seen
defenseman Torey Krug (Boston) and Cameron Schilling (Washington) spend tme in the Show. Furthermore, multple players
have recently signed professional contracts including Daniil Tarasov with the San Jose Sharks.
Our training facility is located downtown at Pan Am Pavilion and we play a porton of our home games at Bankers Life Fieldhouse,
home to the 2013 Central Division Champion Indiana Pacers, 2012 WNBA Champion Indiana Fever and the 2009 Clark Cup
Champion Indiana Ice. The multuse facility has been voted annually as one of the top ten arenas across the globe and recently
completed a $25,000,000 upgrade with new LED Jumbo Tron, HD ring boards and multple HD Video Boards, in additon to a state
of the art sound system. Located in the heart of the Circle City, the move provides great exposure for the team and is ideal for
drawing in an expanded audience of fans, scouts and partners of the Indiana Ice.
The USHL has long been known as the number one college preparatory league in the world. In its 35th season, the USHL
produced over 270 NCAA Division I players. We believe in todays society that the 5-6 year USHL/College Plan is the best opton
for any young aspiring athlete. Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetme experience in college and work hard to live out your dream of playing in
the show one day. Over 80% of our athletes get a four-year degree and startng compensaton in the workplace will at least triple
with a degree in your hand.
The USHL contnues to command great respect from the NHL and colleges across the world. The USHL is the #1 developmental
league in the world for players going through college to the professional ranks. With NHL and college scouts at most games,
players have the opportunity to showcase their skills and develop their game in a league that is highly thought of by the NHL
elite. In just the last two years, the Indiana Ice had six players selected in the NHL draf. The 2011 draf included Indiana Ice
forwards Blake Coleman-Miami University (New Jersey), Brian Ferlin-Cornell University (Boston) and Sean Kuraly-Miami University
(San Jose). The 2012 NHL Entry Draf saw forward Cristoval Nieves-University of Michigan get selected with the 59th overall pick
by the New York Rangers before goaltender Jon Gillies-Providence University heard his name called by the Calgary Flames as the
75th overall pick. Forward Robbie Baillargeon-Boston University rounded out the trio as the 136th pick by the Otawa Senators.
As the 12th largest city in the United States with a downtown revitalizaton now almost complete over 20 years, our fans came
out in big numbers to experience the excitng brand of hockey our players bring to each game. The Indiana Ice fnished frst in
atendance in 2005-06 and we have been in the top three the past seven seasons. The Ice also holds the all-tme North American
Jr. A single game atendance record of 14,892 spectators at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Each individual players development is one of our primary goals within our organizatons mission. Our coaching staf will spend
a great deal of tme developing our players skills in practce. The Ice players will develop their bodies athletcally through a
structured in-season workout program with St. Vincent Sports Performance Center (www.defningsportsperformance.com). Our
high school players atend prestgious Cathedral High School, a private Catholic insttuton in Indianapolis. We will expect that
our players enrolled in school overachieve and we will provide the support and structure to ensure that. The Indiana Ice employs
a full-tme certfed Equipment Manager and a certfed Athletc Trainer. The Ice also employs a bus driver and owns a team
Prevost sleeper bus, allowing our athletes to get the proper amount of rest when travelling during the season.
As a member of the Indiana Ice, our players get to experience all of the cultural benefts of our outstanding city, contnue to build
on their athletc and academic goals and join our mission to bring the Clark Cup back home to the state of Indiana in 2013-14
while celebratng our Tenth Anniversary in the USHL.
