High On The Hog: Wrapping Up The Season
The Rockford IceHogs have put the 2014-15 season in the rear view mirror. It was a memorable campaign for many reasons. Several rookies made impressive pro debuts, a couple of veteran skaters won the hearts of the Rockford fans and the Hogs made the second round of the playoffs.
This year’s version of the IceHogs made some memories…but this is the AHL. Things are gonna change, regardless of how warm and fuzzy the feelings are about this group.
Before we move on, let’s quickly recap the season that was for Rockford.

Beard Of The Day – May 24th – Isaac Brock
As the lead singer, guitarist, and creative force behind Seattle’s Modest Mouse, the occasionally bearded Isaac Brock has carved out a niche in mainstream rock and roll while never once compromising his band’s sound. With a seemingly odd combination with half-barked off-meter poetry over the top of multiple drummers, calliopes, mandolins, banjos, and any other instrument he and his mates can get their hands on, it all doesn’t seem like a recipe for mainstream success. But Brock has remained true to the music he wants to play since the band’s earliest recordings to their most recent Strangers To Ourselves, and mainstream success has naturally followed because of the talent involved.
