Working on the Weekend
The 2025-26 hockey calendar is packed with home weekend dates for the IceHogs. Thirty of the team's 36 home dates fall on a Friday (11), Saturday (14), or Sunday (5). Throughout the 28 weekends of the regular season, 19 of them feature an IceHogs home game. Nine weekends will bring multiple Hogs home games to the BMO Center.

Saturdays Are Alight
Out of 28 Saturdays during the 2025-26 campaign, the IceHogs will play hockey on all 28 of them. Fourteen of those will be played at home with November and February containing three Saturday home games each.

New Opponents
The IceHogs will face off against three teams this year that weren’t on their schedule last season with each four-game set featuring two home and two road contests. Rockford is set to take on the Hershey Bears (Washington Capitals) for the first time since February of 2019. The Hogs and San Diego Gulls (Anaheim Ducks) have played six games all-time and have four more matchups on the docket for 2025-26. For just the second season ever, Rockford and the Colorado Eagles (Colorado Avalanche) meet in the AHL regular season.

All-Star Buzz
February features plenty of action on the BMO Center Ice. The IceHogs are not only slated to play seven of their nine games in the month at home but are also hosting the AHL All-Star Classic for the first time ever. The best of the American Hockey League will descend on the Stateline on Tuesday, Feb. 10 and Wednesday, Feb. 11 for the Skills Competitions and All-Star Game.

Spread Holiday Cheer
The IceHogs play on or near several holiday dates in the 2025-26 schedule. Families can bookend their Thanksgiving festivities with IceHogs hockey at home. On Wednesday, Nov. 26 the Hogs host the rival Chicago Wolves and then on Friday, Nov. 28 Rockford is back in action to take on the Milwaukee Admirals. Shortly after Christmas, the team is back at the BMO on Saturday, Dec. 27 against the Texas Stars. The IceHogs will ring in the new year on Wednesday, Dec. 31 with a matinee celebration against the Wolves. There will be no love lost this Valentine's Day on Saturday, Feb. 14 when the Admirals come to town.

Divisional Roundup
