Those selected will be presented with their jersey on the ice during a postgame ceremony.
The IceHogs will also air a "Thank You Fans" video with highlights from the 2018-19 season during the postgame celebrations.
Steve Martinson Recognition: To cap off their 20th Anniversary Season, the IceHogs will host former head coach Steve Martinson during Sunday's game. Martinson led the IceHogs to their 2006-07 Colonial Cup championship and recently became just the third coach in history to amass 1,000 career wins.
