After an offseason that seemed to go on forever, the Rockford IceHogs were tossed head-first back into action. They kicked off their 2022-23 AHL season with a back-to-back weekend series in Manitoba against the Moose.
Last season, the Manitoba Moose were the closest team to the Chicago Wolves in the Central Division finishing second with 89 points and a .618 points percentage.

The Rockford IceHogs finished fourth with 79 points and a .549 points percentage.
But that was last year. Both teams had some changes to their roster, and anything can happen with a clean slate. Regardless, Manitoba is always a tough matchup for the IceHogs and they’d have to get rolling early to take some points from the weekend.
That didn’t quite happen on Saturday as the IceHogs found themselves down 0-3 heading into the third period. But, during the second intermission the IceHogs flipped on their Pesky Piggies gear. They erased the deficit and tied it up before the ten minute mark of the final frame. In true chaotic hockey fashion, less than a minute after Lukas Reichel tied up the game, a puck went off of IceHogs defender, Adam Clendening’s, skate and behind Arvid Söderblom. They, once again, needed to dig deep to try to tie the game up. With the goaltender pulled, Lukas Reichel threw the puck to the net. Luke Philp, IceHogs newcomer, perfectly redirected it into the net. To overtime, they went.
It took less than two minutes for the IceHogs to complete the miracle when Brett Seney, another IceHogs newcomer, sniped the puck short side on Arvid Holm to seal the victory for the Rockford IceHogs.
Before I jump into the recap of Sunday’s matchup, here’s the lineup that Anders Sörensen rolled out.

Dylan Sikura – Lukas Reichel – David Gust
Brett Seney – Luke Philp – Mike Hardman

Period 3
GOAL: Brad Lambert – Declan Chisholm
As Brad Lambert was coming out of the penalty box, Declan Chisholm hit him with the perfect breakaway pass. The 18 year old rookie threw his wrists up toward the ceiling and roofed the puck over Söderblom’s glove – scoring his first North American professional goal.
GOAL: Kevin Stenlund – Ville Heinola, Declan Chisholm
Just short of two minutes after Brad Lambert dug the Piggies’ hole a bit deeper, Kevin Stenlund ripped a shot from the right circle beating Söderblom low to the stick side.
GOAL: Evan Polei (ENG) – Simon Lundmark, Cole Maier
The IceHogs couldn’t score, but the Moose sure could. There was absolutely nothing that Arvid Söderblom could do on that one, though. He was on the bench.
