DES MOINES, Iowa - This game is going to have a little more pomp to it than usual. Despite being absolutely thrashed by the Chicago Wolves (Vegas/St. Louis) last night in Rosemont, the battered warriors of the playoff hunt return home tonight to take on a Rockford IceHogs (Chicago) squad - attempting to avenge a 3-2 overtime loss to start their four game road trip where they picked up 5 of a possible 8 points.
The homecoming also has something important for the fans as well. Louie Belpedio, fresh off his senior season with the Miami RedHawks (and one game in Chicago), will be making his Des Moines debut, and hopefully in front of a packed house.
