INDY SIGNS FORWARD COLIN BILEK

Monday, August 19th

INDIANAPOLIS - The Indy Fuel announced on Monday that they have signed forward Colin Bilek to a standard player contract for the upcoming 2024-25 season.

Bilek, 27, was acquired by the Rockford IceHogs from the Manitoba Moose in an AHL trade during the 2022-23 season. He played 18 games for the Fuel that year, scoring 11 points as well as three points in four games in the playoffs.

Last season, the Brighton, Michigan native signed a contract with the IceHogs again but played 51 games with the Fuel where he scored 43 points and collected 66 penalty minutes.

Bilek was the Fuel’s nominee for the ECHL’s Community Service Award last year after countless hours visiting local schools and hospitals in addition to meeting with veterans before and after home games.

Prior to his professional career, Bilek spent four years at the United States Military Academy West Point and will serve in the U.S. Army after his professional hockey career.

While at West Point, the 5’11 forward served as the captain for his final two seasons, and led the team in scoring both years. Through four years, Bilek scored 93 points in 127 games.
