Evansville IceMen News Release
EVANSVILLE, IN - The Evansville IceMen, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Ottawa Senators, and Head Coach Al Sims announced Tuesday that the IceMen have loaned defenseman Jonathan Carlsson to the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League (AHL).
The 27-year-old defenseman from Uppsala, Sweden returns to the IceHogs, where he spent the first part of the 2009-10 season with the Chicago Blackhawks' AHL affiliate. Carlsson scored one goal in 19 games that season for Rockford, before finishing the year with the ECHL's Toledo Walleye.
Carlsson spent the last five seasons in the top two professional leagues in his native Sweden, before signing with the IceMen in September. He recorded one goal and four assists in 46 games this season for Evansville, and scored the IceMen's game-winning goal January 23 at Atlanta.
The IceMen travel to Tulsa Friday for a 7:05pm start at the BOK Center against the Oilers, before heading to Missouri for games Saturday at 7:05pm and Sunday at 4:05pm against the Mavericks at Silverstein Eye Centers Arena. All three games will be broadcast on www.evansvilleicemen.com and ECHL.TV, with coverage scheduled to start 15 minutes before game time. Fans can also catch the action at Bar Louie in Evansville, the official headquarters for IceMen away games.
