Live it up for the Weekend
The IceHogs play 29 of their 36 home games on either a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday this season compared to 26 weekend showdowns last season. Rockford will host 12 games on Fridays, 14 on Saturdays, and three on Sundays.
Thanksgiving Weekend Hockey
As families gather around to feast in late November, the IceHogs will be preparing for three games around Thanksgiving. While Rockford will not play on the holiday, the IceHogs take the BMO Center ice the day before (Wednesday, Nov. 22) against the Manitoba Moose, again on Black Friday (Friday, Nov. 24) against the Milwaukee Admirals, and then meet the Ads in Milwaukee on Saturday (Saturday, Nov. 25).
California Dreamin'
The Golden State beckons Rockford for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign. This season, the IceHogs open up the circuit at Tech CU Arena on Friday, Oct. 13 and Saturday, Oct. 14 against the Pacific Division's San Jose Barracuda. On Wednesday, Dec. 20 and Friday, Dec. 22, Rockford will visit the San Diego Gulls at Pechanga Arena.
Holiday Fun
Shortly after Christmas on Wednesday, Dec. 27, Rockford hosts the the Grand Rapid Griffins for an evening matchup. The IceHogs New Year's Eve game returns on Sunday, Dec. 31 against the Milwaukee Admirals. The game starts at 4 p.m. CT, so there's plenty of time to return to a New Year's party to watch the ball drop after you watch the puck drop.
Wild Weekends in February
February features eight home weekend contests for the IceHogs at the BMO Center in downtown Rockford. The four Friday matchups present the Grand Rapids Griffins (Feb. 2), Texas Stars (Feb. 9 & Feb. 23), and the Chicago Wolves (Feb. 16). Saturday's tilts welcome in the Manitoba Moose (Feb. 3), Chicago, Grand Rapids, and Iowa Wild (Feb. 24).
Getting Friendly with the Division
The IceHogs play 64 of their 72 games against Central Division opponents in the 2023-24 season, and six of Rockford's eight opponents come from the Central.
Saturdays are for the Hogs
Almost every Saturday from Oct. 13 (at San Jose) to Apr. 20 (at Milwaukee) will feature an IceHogs game. There are 28 Saturdays in that seven-month span, and Rockford plays on 25 of them. The Hogs will play 14 Saturday home games this season.
