In a Nutshell

In their third year in the ECHL, the IceMen take on the Kalamazoo Wings at the 9,400-seat Ford Center arena

The Fine Print

Hockey combines the speed of basketball, the hard hits of football, and the glistening blades of competitive shaving. Study frozen fusion with this GrouponLive deal to see the Evansville IceMen take the ice at the Ford Center.

Choose Between Two Options

  • $7 for one ticket for seating in sections 201–203 or 221–222 (up to a $14.85 value, including all fees)
  • $10 for one ticket for seating in sections 109–113 (up to a $19.95 value, including all fees)

Both options are valid for the game against the Kalamazoo Wings on Saturday, December 1, at 7:15 p.m.

The Scouting Report

As the ECHL celebrates its 25th season, the relatively young IceMen continue to stake their rightful claim in the league's standings. After amassing 92 points last season, including 69 assists, selfless center Todd Robinson returns to lead the roster along with familiar IceMen Matt Gens and Josh Beaulieu. On December 1, the team looks to topple the elite Kalamazoo Wings, who fell to the Florida Everblades in last year's Eastern Conference finals.

Evansville IceMen

It didn't take long for the first professional hockey team in Evansville to make their mark; in just their second year in the All American Hockey League, in 2010, the fledgling IceMen won the Davidson Cup in seven games. Though that first clan of IceMen has since gone extinct, the team soon resurrected as part of the ECHL, where they serve as the minor-league affiliate of both the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Saint Louis Blues. During games, fans fill the 9,400-seat Ford Center arena as the polar-bear mascot, Blizzard, entertains crowds and teaches children of the dangers of costume warming.

The Groupon Guide to: Famous Hats

Every historical figure of any significance wore a now instantly recognizable hat, synonymous with their name:

  • The Napoleon Hat: Military bicorn, worn side to side or "athwart" to serve as a better perch for enlisted falcons
  • The Benjamin Franklin Hat: Small brass beanie with a large conductive spire jutting out of it, topped with a small eyelet for tethering a kite
  • The Davy Crockett Hat: Famously a strict vegetarian, Crockett's "coonskin" was actually just a matted blob of reeds and buffalo chips that he moistened hourly from his canteen
  • The Hercules Hat: Just a minotaur skull

Honorable Mention: Jughead's "hat" from the Archie comics is actually a crown (?) made of gray paper (?) with miscellaneous shapes affixed to it. Details remain vague because it is proven that overscrutinizing Jughead's hat makes you go insane.

Which historical figure had the most famous hat? The answer may surprise you.
