The Indiana Ice is a Tier I Junior ice hockey team and member club of the USHL that was formed in 2004 when the Danville Wings were purchased and moved from their location in Danville, Illinois to Indianapolis, Indiana. The Ice captured the regular season division titles in the 2007–08 and 2013–14 seasons and won the 2009 and 2014 Clark Cup titles. For now the USHL has placed the team in a "Dormancy Status" for the 2014–15 and 2015–16 season while the organization focuses on development of a new facility and permanent home, The Lyceum Pavilion, in the Indianapolis area. During this time the Indiana Ice organization will remain a Member Club in the USHL, with membership on its Board and full rights to participate in the business and operations of the League.^[1] From 2012 to 2014 the Ice split their home games between the Bankers Life Fieldhouse and the Pan American Arena. Before the 2012–13 season the Ice played their home games at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum. The Ice played in the Eastern Conference/Division of the United States Hockey League.
