Rockford IceHogs News Release
Rockford, Ill.- Rockford IceHogs President and General Manager Ryan Washatka announced on Monday that the IceHogs game on Sunday, Jan. 21 against the Bloomington PrairieThunder has been rescheduled to begin at 6:05 p.m. The doors to the MetroCentre will open at 5 p.m.
The game time was changed as to not conflict with the NFC Championship Game between the Chicago Bears and the New Orleans Saints. For any questions concerning the game change, contact the IceHogs office at (815) 986-6465.
Also on Monday, the United Hockey League announced that Rockford IceHogs goaltender Frederic Cloutier was named the Southern Sports Supply Goaltender of the Week for Week 14 of the United Hockey League season. Cloutier is the first IceHogs player ever to earn the honor three times in one season. JF Rivard won the award twice during the 1999-2000 season. Cloutier previously won the GOW Award this season in Week 6 and Week 12.
In two full games played, Cloutier compiled a 2-0-0 record with a 2.00 goals against average and a .940 save percentage. The St. Honore, Quebec native was in between the pipes for Rockford's 3-2 comeback win over Fort Wayne on Wednesday and the 7-2 rout of Quad City on Saturday. He also played 18 minutes in relief of Hogs goalie Jake Moreland who was injured during the Friday game against Port Huron. Cloutier stopped all seven shots he faced against the Flags.
On Wednesday, against the Komets, Cloutier turned away 24 shots to help Rockford keep pace with Western Division Leaders. In Saturday's heated contest versus the Mallards, Cloutier stopped 39 of 41 shots to help Rockford go into the All-Star Break on a winning note.
This season is Cloutier's sixth in the pro ranks. The former ECHL Goalie of the Year and Rookie of the Year is currently playing in his first season with Rockford and the UHL. Overall thus far, Cloutier has a record of 15-11-1 with 2.42 GAA and a .919 SPCT. He will be one of six players representing the IceHogs this week at the 2006-07 UHL All-Star Game in Fort Wayne, Ind.
Next Home Game: Sunday, Jan. 21 vs. Bloomington PrairieThunder. Game time is set for 6:05 p.m. The Hogs renew acquaintances with Bloomington. Sunday is another Dollar Days with WXRX, 104.9-FM. Fans can pick up regular size hot dogs, soft drinks, select candy items and peanuts for just $1. After the Game will be another CoCo Key Water Resort Skate With The Hogs.
