The Offseason So Far & A NEW PODCAST!
Welcome back! It’s been awhile. The Blackhawks and the IceHogs both missed the playoffs, so you could say I was a bit bitter and didn’t want to write about hockey.
Kiss Me, I’m Anton
Sunday night’s contest had big playoff implications for the IceHogs. The team is still fighting for their playoff lives and sat one spot out coming into the game against the Texas Stars. You could say the IceHogs needed a bit of that Irish luck. To make the game even more important, the Texas Stars are the team that sat immediately ahead of the Hogs in the standings.
All We Do Is . . . Go To OT!
The second game of a 3-in-3 came to Rockford on Saturday night, bringing with it tired players and an excited crowd. The BMO was rocking which is always great to see. The Cleveland Monsters were in town. I don't know if I'll ever forgive them for sweeping us in the playoffs a few seasons ago. There are just some things you can't let go of.
This Is A Big Deal
There’s some exciting news buzzing around the Rockford IceHogs this week. What’s a big deal, you ask? COLLIN DELIA IS BACK IN ROCKFORD!
Sunday Night Snowdown
There was once a snowy and slushy Sunday night in the great town of Rockford, Illinois when the San Antonio Rampage came into town to face the hometown boys, the Rockford IceHogs. The Rampage players are used to skating on ice, but being from Texas, they aren’t used to weathering it out in the wild.
Saturday Night StressHogs
If you weren’t at the game or following the score, I’m going to play a bit of a spoiler role and tell you right now that the IceHogs won this game. . . somehow. I’m telling you this now, because what I’m about to write will not lead you to believe the outcome, and I don’t want you to be stressed out like I was.

The IceHogs were gifted with the young and super-talented blue-liner AND it just so happened that there was a firework show ON THE ICE after the game. There’s so much to talk about, so let’s just get into it.
