Evansville IceMen 20-Goal Win, 3 Stars & Kira Hurley Tribute [2-14-09 vs Blaze]

The Evansville IceMen and their fans celebrate a dominant 24-4 victory over the Chicago Blaze on Valentine's Day at Swonder Ice Arena in Evansville. The IceMen set new All American Hockey Association records for goals scored in a period (12 in the 2nd) and goals scored in a game (24). Evansville out-shot the Blaze 85-30 in the game.

Earl Hudick had 6 goals and 5 assists, and was named the 1st Star of the Game. His brother Ed Hudick had 6 goals and 7 assists, and was named the 2nd Star of the Game. Shane Heffernan had 3 goals and 2 assists, and was named the 3rd Star of the Game.

Also, IceMen goalie Kira Hurley was honored for making some history of her own. She picked up an assist on Evansville's 23rd goal (scored by Heffernan), becoming the first female goaltender to record a point in a professional men's hockey game. Hurley is only the 4th female goaltender to play in a North American men's pro game, and was making her second appearance for the IceMen.

This is a game from last season .The Chicago Blaze were not set to play in the league until this year but stepped in without a home arena, uniform or a set roster just to fill in for the Detroit Dragons, who folded earlier in the year, and play all of their road games so the league could continue. They only brought 10-12 to skate in this game. This year, they have an arena to play in, a full roster of players and uniforms and are undefeated in the first 2 weeks. Thank you Chicago!
