It might be <freakin'> FREEZING in Indianapolis - I mean, there's really no getting around that - but the action on the ice at the Pepsi Coliseum is heating up.  The Indiana Ice, a United States Hockey League team, are all about high-energy, hard-hitting hockey action during their 30 regular season home games.  All but two of their home games are on a weekend evening - Friday and Saturday evening this weekend - making it easy to enjoy an affordable, family-friendly hockey game!  Tickets start as low as $11 for adults and $9 for kids and seniors.  The Indiana Ice are the coolest (and fastest!) guys on skates!

Before or after the game, slide over to Broad Ripple Village for dinner, drinks and even shopping.  Stop by Bazbeaux Pizza for the most deliciously gooey gourmet pizzas - I'm partial to the Mexican and BBQ chicken varieties - in a super comfy casual atmosphere.  Or, if you're having an "adult" evening, check out the Old Pro's Table, the Broad Ripple Tavern or the Broad Ripple Brewpub (or Chumleys or Brothers or the Alley Cat or Average Joe's or ... ) for cold beverages (read: beers).   

If hockey isn't your bag, check out other events that are going on in Indianapolis this weekend.  Stay and play by booking a Hot Hotel Deal.
