  2009 Season Review
(12-8) – 2nd East Division – Longest Win Streak, Season = 4, Longest Loss Streak, Season = 2
The Soldiers entered the 2009 campaign, their third season in the league, returning a good portion of the team that battled for 11 wins in 2008, but the Soldiers were missing their All-Star Erik Rhinehart who was averaging 16.5 a game in Austria. The Soldiers struggled a bit early on as they re-established their team concept, battling to a 3-4 record to open the year. The team then turned to veteran All-Star Demarcus Bolton (10G, 16pts, 7.8rbd) who helped flip Kankakee’s fortunes as they got on a roll and were victorious in 9 of their final 13 ballgames. Also for the Soldiers, Laurence Burnett (20G, 19.3pts, 8rbd) was one of just two players to appear in all the team’s games, along with Carl Fine; Burnett would lead the team in both scoring and rebounding and Burnett finished in the IBL’s top-20 in both categories as well. Stan Chismark (15G, 18.4pts, 6.4rbd) would be another key piece for a Soldiers club which has improved its winning percentage in each year of its existence and finished above .500 for the first time in this 2009 season. 2009 All-Stars: Demarcus Bolton, Lawrence Burnett, Stan Chismark.
