Rockford IceHogs Are Bringing Back Something Fans Haven’t Seen in Years

The ice in Rockford is turning pink as one of the most memorable traditions returns to downtown for the first time in years.

Pink Ice is Back in Rockford

Mike Peck from the Rockford IceHogs joined the Q Morning crew to talk about the special night planned for Friday, October 30, at the BMO.

It is confirmed that after many years, the team will bring back pink ice to close out Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And before you ask, the pink ice won't taste like bubble gum.

When Johnny V joked about the possibility of flavored ice, Peck quickly reminded fans they definitely shouldn't be licking the playing surface.

Trick-or-Treat With the IceHogs

The Halloween weekend fun doesn't end there. The IceHogs will host a postgame Trick-or-Treat on the Ice with the players on Sunday, November 1.

It's another chance for the kids to show off their Halloween costumes and collect some extra candy after the traditional festivities have ended.

Fast 5 in 5 with IceHogs' Mike Peck

Mike Peck faced the Q Morning Crew Fast 5 in 5, answering five questions with give seconds or less for each response.

Peck's picks included Slap Shot as the best hockey movie, popcorn as his go-to game-day snack, and center as the position he would play if he were put on the ice.

When asked who has better sports fans, Rockford or Milwaukee, Peck didn't hesitate: Rockford. And what celebrity would he like to see wearing an IceHogs jersey? Taylor Swift.

With the ice rink turning pink and trick-or-treat night coming up, there will be lots of reasons to scream "Let's Go Hogs!"
