Everybody say welcome back Dominic!!!! https://t.co/cLjJxdERvG pic.twitter.com/XG8rxyk48L — Rockford IceHogs (@goicehogs) January 4, 2026 Saturday night’s game at the GIANT Center lived up to the hype as the Hershey Bears rallied to beat the Rockford IceHogs 5-4. Rockford looked to be in the driver’s seat early, building a commanding 3-1 lead, but the Bears fought back to snap their four-game losing streak. Aaron Ness led the way for Hershey, putting up two points and burying the game-winner in the third period. It was a tough result for the IceHogs to start their road trip after such a strong start, but they get another shot at the Bears this Sunday for the GIANT Teddy Bear Toss. After that, Rockford finally heads back home to host a game on Friday, January 9th. Rockford IceHogs Lineup: Savoie - Seney - Pitlick Hayes - Toninato - Anderson Misiak - Engelbert - Lombardi Boucher - Cates - Mylymok Korchinski - Rinzel Kuzmin - Allan Harding - Perrott Commesso Berezhnoy Hershey Bears...
