HOGS SAY THANKS WITH PUCKHEAD BOBBLEHEAD

Rockford, Ill.- The Rockford IceHogs unveiled the face of the 2008 Fan Bobblehead on Thursday.

Modeled after one of the IceHogs' longest-serving and beloved season ticket holders, the "Puckhead Bobblehead" will be given to the first 1,000 fans on March 22 before the IceHogs' game against the Milwaukee Admirals. The doors open at 5:30 p.m., and the giveaway is courtesy of ComEd and 23 WIFR.

As IceHogs fan since day one, Puckhead sits in section 132 at the MetroCentre and has been a staple at Hogs games. The "Puckhead Bobblehead" is the fifth collectible bobblehead given away by the IceHogs. Others include Hammy Hog, Hammer Hog, Steve Martinson and Nathan Lutz.

This bobblehead is one of the several ways the IceHogs are saying "thank you" to their dedicated fans throughout the 2007-08 season.

For tickets to the game, contact the MetroCentre Box Office at (815) 968-5222, on the web at www.centreevents.com or at the MetroCentre Box Office.

Next Home Game: Friday, March 21 vs. Quad City. Game time is 7:30 p.m. The IceHogs and Flames mix it up at the MetroCentre for the final time this season. The IceHogs and Comcast welcome SpongeBob SquarePants to the game.
