kenboone15@yahoo.com

Ken Boone, native of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, began his elite hockey career playing Tier 1 Junior A in Burlington, Ontario.  At the age of 16, he was drafted in the fourth round of the Ontario Hockey League where he played two seasons for Kingston Frontenacs.  Boone had a diverse 10 year professional hockey career, successfully playing at almost every level of the game. Career highlights span from playing in NHL exhibition games to three seasons with the Indianapolis Ice, winning a CHL Championship in the 1999-2000 season.

Boone is one of the few players in the history of Indianapolis hockey to be honored with the “Iron Man” award--given only to an individual who has played in every game and attended every practice in a championship season.  

After his retirement from professional hockey, Boone has been an award winning firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department and has dedicated himself being a well recognized hockey coach and elite hockey trainer in the area. Coach Boone conducts skills and body contact development out of his hometown rink in Columbus, IN.

Important message from the IYHA

By admin 11/13/2019, 10:00am EST

IYHA Jr Fuel Families and Friends,

As we all embrace the cold weather and get into the routine of regular season hockey, we’d like to thank you for being a part of the new IYHA Jr Fuel for the 2019-2020 season. Jr Fuel travel teams are off to a hot start. Fuel Tank and Pop Weaver House league teams are assigned and competing on Saturdays. The temporary Carmel House program is sharpening their skills in anticipation of the revamped Ice Skadium’s opening next month. 

 

A couple of weeks ago USA Hockey announced a change in the mandatory suspension for language that is offensive, hateful or discriminatory in nature anywhere in the rink, before, during or after a game. Violation of rule 601(e.3) now carries a mandatory Match Penalty, which means the player is suspended until their disciplinary hearing that will take place within 30 days of the incident. 

 

The IYHA Jr Fuel strives to promote an inclusive environment where our players are judged by their sportsmanship, fair play, work ethic and competitive spirit, and not for their ethnicity, skin color, gender, sexuality, religion or socioeconomic status. 

 

While USA Hockey’s policy addresses only incidents that occur during games, the IYHA Jr Fuel will strictly enforce a Zero Tolerance policy toward the above language and actions at all IYHA sanctioned events and on social media. 

 

Parents, we ask that you please have conversations with your players and emphasize the impact their words can have on their teammates, opponents and officials. Remind them that offensive language on the ice, in the rink lobby, in the locker room or on their mobile device will be investigated and appropriately punished according to the rules set out by USA Hockey and Safe Sport. This is a Zero Tolerance Policy. Language deemed inappropriate will be disciplined as outlined in our procedures and USA Hockey Bylaw 10. 

 

Thank you for your cooperation. See you at the rink!

Host Families Wanted!

By Derek Edwardson 05/21/2019, 3:45pm EDT

As the 2019-2020 hockey season approaches, the Jr Fuel 16U and 18U AAA teams have received more interest than ever from AAA level players across the country. On June 1st and 2nd we will be selecting our final rosters that will include several players moving to Indy to play for us.

We are looking for families to host players for the hockey season and be a second home for young men putting it all on the line to take their game to the next level. Families must provide a safe and positive home life. While hosting a player can be very rewarding and create lifelong bonds and friendships, it can be challenging for both the player and host family. We do our best to match families and players with compatible values and family background.

Families will be given strict guidelines and expectations including providing all meals for the player, transportation if the player does not have access to a car and his own bedroom with private closet space for the entire school year.

Players are expected to live by reasonable house rules and will be held to the highest standard of behavior.  

Host families will receive a stipend each month (amount determined by the IYHA) directly from the player’s parents for food and groceries. Host families are not responsible for travel expenses or food when a player travels for games. 

This is a great opportunity to help a player reach his hockey goals and serve as a role model for your young players. If you are interested please fill out the document linked below and submit it to Derek Edwardson derek@iyha.com.
