Evansville IceMen 2015-16 Promotional Calendar Revealed

The Evansville IceMen, proud members of the ECHL and affiliate to the NHL’s Ottawa Senators and AHL’s Binghamton Senators, officially announced the team’s promotional calendar for the 2015-16 season.

The organization’s fourth ECHL season and eighth in professional hockey in Evansville begins Saturday, October 17, 2015 with the Season Opener and concludes Saturday, April 2, 2016 with Fan Appreciation Night.

For the first (and only) time, fans can channel their inner Marty McFly for a special Back to the Future Night on Saturday, October 24, 2015, when the IceMen celebrate the date Michael J. Fox’s character traveled into the future in the second installment of the Hollywood trilogy. This is the first-look at the specialty jerseys IceMen players will wear on that night.

The IceMen’s 5th Annual Education Day will be November 4, 2015, when Evansville hosts the Indy Fuel for a 9:30am Wednesday game. Other annual events throughout the season include the vastly popular Star Wars Night on Saturday, January 16, 2016 and Pink the Rink Weekend February 26-27, 2016, in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. The team will wear specialty jerseys for both of those events, as well as for Prostate Cancer Awareness Night on Saturday, November 21, 2015.
