Rockford IceHogs quirky 11 opponent 2018-19 schedule; AHL sticking with truncated Pacific Division sked; Hogs list six home game dates; AHL team home openers

On Friday, the Rockford IceHogs released names of the 11 opponents they’ll face-off with during the 2018-19 American Hockey League regular season.

Rockford’s home schedule will open on Saturday October 13th. The opponent for that game will become known when the AHL releases its full schedule next month. Teams began building their schedules months ago. However, the AHL takes a little longer to finalize its trek, mostly due to its franchises that share buildings with major professional teams; Cleveland (NBA), Manitoba (NHL), San Antonio (NBA) and San Jose (NHL).

The IceHogs will begin their season on the road.
