Bondarenko Returns For Fourth Season With Ice Flyers

PENSACOLA, Fla. – Forward Ivan Bondarenko and the Pensacola Ice Flyers have agreed to terms for the 2024-25 season.

Ivan was a top priority for me to get signed this summer. He was by far our most consistent forward last season. I feel that his ceiling is way higher than what he showed this past season and we’ll work together to help him achieve that.

– Head Coach Gary Graham

Bondarenko returns to the Ice Flyers after an impressive 51-point season (15g, 36a) in 53 games played. His 36 assists propelled him to third place in franchise history for all-time assists, surpassing Ryan Salvis with a total of 107 over his three seasons with the team. Bondarenko’s Ice Flyers journey began after a brief stint with the ECHL Wichita Thunder. In the 2021–22 season, he notched 46 points (14g, 32a) in 47 games played for the Ice Flyers. He followed that with a career-best 2022–23 season, racking up 54 points (15g, 39a) in 57 games played.

Coming back for my 4th season, I have only one goal in mind. It’s bringing the cup back to Pensacola. I want to lead this team and this city to our next championship parade.

– Forward Ivan Bondarenko
