Players to Watch: IceHogs vs Griffins (1/18/23)
After a 4-game road trip that saw the IceHogs going 1-2-1-0, the Piggies are back in their home barn tonight to take on the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Rockford is also 3-0-0-0 against Grand Rapids so far this season. Let’s hope they keep up those winning ways!
