This is the second installment in Second City Hockey’s six-part position group preview on the Blackhawks and their AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs. This article focuses on AHL forwards.
The Rockford IceHogs missed the playoffs in 2018-19, as a more competitive division sent the Chicago Wolves, Milwaukee Admirals, Iowa Wild and Grand Rapids Griffins in their stead. Now, a talented crop of forwards will try to get the IceHogs back where they belong, in the postseason.
