Notably, the IceHogs will play two games against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, Springfield Thunderbirds, and Hartford Wolf Pack, with each two-game set being a home-and-home series. In addition, the Tuscon Roadrunners grace the schedule as a non-division opponent in 2024-25. 

The IceHogs will garner a lot of attention from Blackhawks fans this season thanks to the load of talent that will be in the AHL. Notably, Artyom Levshunov will surely be in Rockford along with Frank Nazar, Landon Slaggert, Martin Misiak, Paul Ludwinski, Gavin Hayes, Colton Dach, Nolan Allan, Ethan Del Mastro, Wyatt Kaiser, and Drew Commesso. There is also a chance that Kevin Korchinski gets some run with the IceHogs if the team feels like he could use the time in the AHL. 

Finally, the IceHogs nearly had an outdoor game at Wrigley Field according to a report. The Blackhawks tried to organize it for the IceHogs, since this year's NHL Winter Classic will be at Wrigley Field, but it did not workout. Fans were nearly graced with two organizational games at the Friendly Confines. 

With both the Blackhawks and IceHogs beginning play the week of Oct. 7, there will be a lot of eyes on both franchises in a growth year for Kyle Davidson's rebuild.
