Led by ten-time league champion and currently the second winningest coach in North America (1,043 wins) Steve Martinson, the IceHogs went 48-21-1 record in 2006-07, their final United Hockey League (UHL) season before being promoted to the AHL. The IceHogs glided past the Quad City Mallards and Fort Wayne Komets in the first and second rounds of the playoffs with a combined 8-2 record before taking the Kalamazoo Wings to a decisive Game 7 of the Colonial Cup Finals in downtown Rockford and capturing the first professional hockey championship in team history.
