The Rockford IceHogs opened their 24th season of hockey and 16th AHL campaign with a bang on Saturday with a thrilling 5-4 comeback OT win in Winnipeg over the Manitoba Moose. Last season's leading scorer, Lukas Reichel, helped lead the charge in the third period with a goal and two assists.

Welcome to the IceHogs

Forwards Brett Seney (game-winning goal), David Gust (1G, 2A), and Luke Philp (2G, 1A) all found the scoresheet in their IceHogs debut on Saturday. Forward Cole Guttman and defenseman Louis Crevier made their professional debuts with the IceHogs that evening.
