The Evansville IceMen are proud to announce the
addition of Shane Hemingway as the Icemen's
Strength and Conditioning Coach. Mr. Hemingway
started his hockey career early in the Evansville
Youth Hockey League and continued to play up
through college level, so he brings a love of the
game and experience to the team, and even
continues playing today with the Evansville Adult
Hockey League.

Shane is a former United States Marine, has
earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical
Education, and is a certified Personal Trainer.
During the past twelve years he has worked for the
government and in this capacity has trained new
agents and designed programs specific to special
operations.

Shane is excited about the opportunity to utilize
his skills and abilities to enhance the conditioning
of the Icemen for a successful opening season.

IceMen General Manager, Chip Rossetti, is thrilled
about the addition of Hemingway, "Shane brings a
wealth of knowledge in fitness and conditioning to
our organization. Couple that with his hockey
background and you have an opportunity to
maximize our players potential."

Evansville IceMen General Manager Chip Rossetti
announced today that the team is partnering with G.D.
Ritzy's to raise money for Jacob's Village. The IceMen will
host a preseason exhibition game on Friday, October 24th
at 8:00pm at Swonder Ice Arena in Evansville.

All of the proceeds from the exhibition game will be
donated to Jacob's Village. Jacob's Village is a residential
community for adults with developmental disabilities. They
provide a choice for families who are seeking alternative
living arrangements for their family member.

Rossetti was excited about this partnership finally coming
to fruition. "We have been working for a while to find a
way to have a game like this, where we could donate the
gate to a great cause. G.D. Ritzy's helped to make that
possible. Without their involvement we would not have
been able to make this happen."

Tickets for the game will be only $4 dollars and there will
be a silent auction to help raise additional money. Products
from local businesses are currently being accepted by the
IceMen for the auction. Contact Chip Rossetti for more
information.

Jacob's Village spokeswoman Karin Macke was thrilled to
be involved in this game. "It's exciting for the community,
and also Jacob's Village is very fortunate to be the
recipient of these funds," Macke said on Tuesday.

G.D. Ritzy's President, Dan Grunow, saw this as a great way
to give back to the community. "Jacob's Village is a
non-profit organization that continues to look for funding to
help physically and mentally challenged adults in their day
to day lives, and we are excited to be able to help support
their mission."

The IceMen are committed to providing quality, affordable
entertainment to the Tri-State. The team is also committed
to giving back the community that has embraced them
since the team was announced. Tickets can be purchased
in advance by contacting the team office.
