Welcome to the 2025-2026 Carmel Icehounds Hockey Season

As we prepare for the 2025-2026 hockey season, we are filled with excitement and anticipation.  Our Gold and Blue Carmel Icehound teams are ready to hit the ice, and we can’t wait to experience this journey with you! 

This season promises to be filled with thrilling games, talented and aggressive players, and unforgettable moments.  Our coaching staff, led by Tyler “Taz” Douthit for Gold and Nick Robbearts for Blue, has been preparing the teams since last Spring; working tirelessly to develop competitive teams, bringing together a mix of seasoned veterans and promising newcomers.  We’re committed to building upon last season’s achievements and striving for excellence both on and off the ice.  

We invite family, friends, and the Carmel community to join us for an exciting line-up of games this season, including our annual charity games with Zionsville and Northside and other special events, where we’ll showcase our new lineups and celebrate the beginning of an incredible season.  Your support is crucial; the energy you bring to the rink motivates our players and creates a vibrant atmosphere making every game special.  

As we embark on this journey, we encourage you to stay connected with us through our social media channels and our website.  We’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes content, player spotlights, and updates throughout the season.  

Thank you for being part of the Carmel Icehound family.  Together, let’s make this season one for the history books!

Go Icehounds!.
