Family Fun Weekend Includes Teddy Bear Toss & More
December 12, 2024 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Rockford IceHogs News Release
This weekend's Rockford IceHogs slate at the BMO Center is loaded with fun for fans of all ages, featuring some especially kid-friendly promos. It all starts Saturday when the IceHogs take on the Iowa Wild at 7 p.m. on United for Literacy Night, featuring a specialty jersey auction to raise money for United Way of Rock River Valley's United for Literacy Initiative in conjunction with the IceHogs annual Teddy Bear Toss !
Fans who attend the game are invited to bring new stuffed animals to the game to toss on the ice after the IceHogs score their first goal. The stuffed animals will be collected and distributed throughout the community to children of need to help brighten their holiday season.
The specialty jerseys were designed by 12-year-old Bella Nichols-Francis, a sixth grader at Maria Montessori at Marsh, who won a design contest over the summer coordinated by the IceHogs in partnership with the Rockford Area Arts Council. The jersey Bella designed depicts the IceHogs mascot, Hammy, wearing a teddy bear costume and holding a book, tying in the two main themes of the night.
Last but not least, Saturday's game will include a Kids Takeover with kids helping the IceHogs with PA announcing, emceeing, and other in-game entertainment throughout the night.
The excitement continues on Sunday at 4 p.m. when the IceHogs battle the Milwaukee Admirals on another Pizza Hut Family Pack game presented by Pizza Hut with media partners WTVO/WQRF and B103.
