The Rockford IceHogs announced a series of updates to the team's training camp roster today. Kyle Maksimovich and Seamus Malone have been assigned to the Indy Fuel in the ECHL, and Matus Spodniak, Nick Nardella, and Zach Driscoll have been released from their PTO's. In addition, the IceHogs signed defenseman D.J. King to a one-year AHL contract and assigned him to Indy.

During the 2021-22 season, King broke into the AHL with the Grand Rapids Griffins for a pair of contests. King, the son of former IceHogs head coach and current Blackhawks assistant coach Derek King, also played three seasons in the USA Hockey National Team Development Program alongside Alex Vlasic and Ryder Rolston.
Along with the roster moves, Rockford IceHogs Team Physician Dr. Geoff Van Thiel released the following medical update:
Forward Marcel Marcel is out two weeks following an injury to his right hand sustained during practice.
