Live It up for the Weekend
The 2024-25 hockey calendar is packed with home weekend dates for the IceHogs. Twenty-nine of the team's 36 home dates fall on a Friday (13), Saturday (14), or Sunday (2). Throughout the 28 weekends of the regular season, 19 of them feature an IceHogs home game. Ten weekends will bring multiple Hogs home games to the BMO Center.

Saturdays Are for the Hogs
Out of 28 Saturdays during the 2024-25 campaign, the IceHogs will play hockey on 26 of them. Fourteen of those will be played at home with February and March containing three Saturday home games each.

Fresh Faces
The IceHogs will be playing four teams this season that were not on the schedule last season. Rockford will play 10 total games against the Hartford Wolf Pack (New York Rangers affiliate), Lehigh Valley Phantoms (Philadelphia Flyers), Springfield Thunderbirds (St. Louis Blues), and Tucson Roadrunners (Utah Hockey Club). The Hogs saw Hartford and Springfield on the ice last in the 2022-23 season, and Tucson most recently in 2021-22.

Phantom Menace
Saturday, Feb. 22, will mark the first time the Lehigh Valley Phantoms darken the doorstep of the BMO Center. It will also be the first time an affiliate of the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers journeys to the Stateline. Rockford and Lehigh Valley will meet for the first time in history on Wednesday, Dec. 4 at the PPL Center.

Holiday Fun
The IceHogs play on or near several holiday dates in the 2024-25 schedule. After Rockford families enjoy Thanksgiving on Nov. 28, the Hogs play at home the next night on Black Friday, Nov. 29 against the Chicago Wolves. Shortly after Christmas, the team is back on home ice Friday, Dec. 27 against the Iowa Wild. The IceHogs salute the end of 2024 at the BMO Center with a game starting at 6 p.m. on New Year's Eve against the Wild. Valentine's Day on Friday, Feb. 14 sets up a star-crossed home matchup against the in-state rival Chicago Wolves.

Divisional Roundup
Sixty-two of the IceHogs' 72 games on the 2024-25 schedule come against Central Division opponents. Out of the six other teams in the Central, the IceHogs face Chicago, Grand Rapids, and Iowa the most at 12 matchups a piece. Last season, the Hogs played 64 divisional games and finished with a 35-22-5-2 record in those contests.
