Rockford, Ill. - Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a Kids' Day at the BMO Harris Bank Center as the Rockford IceHogs take on the Texas Stars at 1:05 p.m. in their only home afternoon game of the season. All kids can get $5 tickets to the game and take advantage of special Kidcession-items, including one dollar hot dogs and soft drinks. The first 1,000 kids (14 and under) to the game on Monday will receive an IceHogs drawstring bag compliments of Hog Wash.

All fans are encouraged to bring their ice skates to the game as they will be invited onto the BMO Harris Bank Center ice following the game to "Skate with the Hogs." Only fans with skates will be permitted onto the ice. The glass will be removed from the north end zone to allow fans without skates to get autographs from the players.
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the IceHogs will recognize black history in professional hockey and throughout IceHogs history. West Middle School's choir will perform the national anthem and Maceo Rainey, West Middle School's principal and one of Rockford's most influential African-American leaders, will drop the ceremonial first puck.
Next Home Game: Friday, Jan. 25 vs. Chicago at 7:05 p.m. The IceHogs battle in an Illinois Lottery Cup matchup with the Chicago Wolves. The first 2,500 fans through the gates will get an IceHogs fleece blanket courtesy of OSF.
