MEET THE COACH
Colin Bilek is currently a professional hockey player with the Indy Fuel, the ECHL affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks.
​​
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. He currently has the second-most power play goals in a single season for the franchise.
​
Bilek was the Fuel’s 2023-24 nominee for the ECHL’s Community Service Award 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.
A NOTE FROM COLIN BILEK
I am incredibly excited to continue to be providing skill development to the youth hockey community. The reason I have had the best job in the world, in being able to play hockey for a living, is because I have had coaches that genuinely cared about my development as a person and a player. This has motivated me to do the same and to give back to those athletes that want to also work on their game while enjoying the best game the world has to offer!
