Rockford IceHogs coach Ted Dent recently came across some lineup cards from earlier this season, and it struck him just how much his team has changed this season.
Every year is a different challenge for an AHL coach. Sometimes it’s dealing with a roster full of first-year pros. Other times it’s watching as your players disappear through trades or recalls. In most years, it’s a mixture of everything.
This season the IceHogs endured more changes than in years past. Sixteen players who appeared in a game for the IceHogs this season are no longer with the team.
