IceHogs Reveal 2020-21 Preseason and Regular Season Schedule
ROCKFORD, Ill. – The Rockford IceHogs, proud American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks, announced their 2020-21 preseason and regular season schedule.
The IceHogs open their 22nd season of hockey in the Stateline on Friday, Feb. 5 against the Cleveland Monsters at 6:00 p.m. at the BMO Harris Bank Center and continue their Opening Weekend celebration the following day, Saturday, Feb. 6, with a rematch against the Monsters at 1:00 p.m. The IceHogs have opened their season against the Monsters in four of the last five campaigns (2020-21, 2016-19).
The health and safety of our fans, players, and staff is our top priority, and after careful consideration in collaboration with the city of Rockford and the Winnebago County Health Department, the IceHogs will not be hosting fans at BMO Harris Bank Center for the beginning of the 2020-21 season. We will continue working with the league, city and state officials to evaluate conditions to determine if there is a timeline that would allow for fans later this season. IceHogs season ticketholders have been contacted with further details and fans can view a full list of 2020-21 season FAQ’s here for additional information.

Monsters Return to the Central Division:
As announced by the American Hockey League and the IceHogs on Jan. 4, the Central Division will have a temporary re-alignment for the 2020-21 season with the Cleveland Monsters returning to the division for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign. The IceHogs will not see the Texas Stars this year and the Milwaukee Admirals opted out of the 2020-21 season and will return for the 2021-22 campaign.
Illinois Rivalry Fires Back Up:
Celebrating their 14th season as bitter in-state rivals, the IceHogs and Chicago Wolves collide for eight total contests during the 2020-21 campaign. Last season, the Hogs raced out to a 5-0-0 record against their rivals, the longest winning streak and best start ever against Chicago in team history, before finishing with a 6-2-1-0 record.
