The Rockford IceHogs also announced Thursday that goaltender Michel Robinson was loaned to the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) once again. Robinson is expected to be in uniform tonight when the Admirals face-off against the Houston Aeros at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee.

For Robinson, it's the third time in which he has been loaned to the Admirals. Robinson picked up a win in his AHL debut on February 1, when he helped the Admirals top the St. John's Maple Leafs 4-3. The second year goalie has already established IceHogs franchise marks for wins (28) and shutouts (5). Robinson is expected to return to Rockford for Sunday's 1:05 p.m. game against the Elmira Jackals.
