Ice Bears channel their inner diva to raise money for booster club

You know it's going to be a crazy night when the first player on stage is rookie Mike Kneeland signing "I Touch Myself" to a rowdy crowd of players and fans.  Folks, it can only go downhill from there.

The annual Ice Bears Karaoke Night at Big Mama's Karaoke Cafe is a fundraiser for the Knoxville Ice Bears Booster Club, the gang of dedicated fans who make the players' lives a little easier throughout the season.  This is a chance for everyone to let loose and have some fun before the real grind of the end-of-the-season push happens.

It may have taken awhile for the players to take the stage, but once they did, it was pure hilarity.  The proof is in the photos.

Rich Zalewski and Hunnie Beth in costume for some reason 

(Rich had on tight leather pants and a jacket, Beth wore a Donald Duck costume)

Mike Kneeland with Goofy and Minnie Mouse 

(any guesses as to which players are in the costumes?)

Frankie in drag.  Why? With Frankie, it's best not to ask "why."

Melnyk, Gallant and Bulawka joined by the kids on stage singing "YMCA."

"She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"

The team singing "Layla" to Brenda.  

Again, with Frankie, don't ask why.

The final song of the night, "Rocket Man."
