Followers of the Rockford IceHogs are in for a special treat because the team will be holding a Fan Fest to kick off the season.

I can't believe summer is over and winter is just around the corner.

There's one reason that I'm okay with that. The return of hockey and the start of the Rockford IceHogs season.

This year, the team is going to do something special for fans.

According to icehogs.com,

"Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Rockford IceHogs hockey in the Forest City and kick off the 2018-19 season for free at IceHogs FanFest on Friday, September 28 with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. at BMO Harris Bank Center."

I can't wait.

Here are some of the activities going on that night.

  • Inter-squad scrimmage.
  • Watch the team from ice level.
  • Chance to get photos and autograph with players.
  • Sneak preview of new team merchandise.
  • Concessions available for purchase.
  • Activities for the kids.

Hopefully, you can make it.
