==Team history==
The IceMen were one of the four founding members of the 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, which is a lower level professional minor league affiliated with the International Hockey League.
On February 14, 2009, The IceMen set an AAHL scoring record in a 24-4 win over the 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 IceMen Woman Into the Hall of Fame.
