This date in Indianapolis hockey history: April 27

Today's post has Max Cook scoring a critical go-ahead goal for the Ice in 2009 as they take a lead in their semifinal series, Ken Boone scoring the game-winner in the 2000 Miron Cup Final opener, Marc Lamothe posting a shutout and Craig Mills scoring in 2OT to give the Ice their final win as an IHL club in 1999, Red Laurence scoring the final goal in the 21-year history of the old Central Hockey League in 1984, and the Racers scoring four second-period goals to stay alive in 1976. Wish happy birthdays to George Harrison, John Blessman, Yves Heroux, Kent Paynter, Jamie Carroll and Robert Polesello.
