The Rockford IceHogs, the AHL affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks, begin their season on February 5. Playing 30 games for the 2021 season against four different opponents, the IceHogs are coming together as a very young team and will possibly be focusing on development more this season than the wins and losses.
With training camp opening this week, we introduce the Down On The Farm Report, a weekly look at the Chicago Blackhawks farm system news and notes from the AHL Rockford IceHogs.
#Blackhawks VP Hockey Ops Mark Bernard says the focus is on development, you re going to have young players make young player mistakes that end up in the back of your net. Says team can t dwell on that and has to focus on what players are learning from those mistakes. #IceHogs
