A new batch of Rockford IceHogs is looking to follow the trail blazed by some recent champions through the Blackhawks organization.

There was Jeff Glass, 32 years old, making his NHL debut for the Chicago Blackhawks. A lifetime of work, an overnight success.

Vinnie Hinostroza refuses to sulk. Refuses to hang his head. Refuses to doubt his abilities. And absolutely believes that he belongs in the NHL.

Here are three players who are helping the Hogs win now and could someday do the same for the Blackhawks.

Playing alongside—and sometimes being overshadowed by—big-name players is nothing new for Darren Raddysh.

No matter what issues Rockford players have as they attempt to climb the ladder to Chicago, they will have someone on the IceHogs coaching staff to turn to.

The Montreal Canadiens have acquired forward Kyle Baun from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Andreas Martinsen.

Kyle Baun, who followed an injury-shortened rookie year by finishing second on Rockford in scoring last season, looks to expand on that success in 2017-18.

A player can take many paths to becoming a professional. William Pelletier’s carried him from D-III to Rockford — with an assist from roller hockey.

The Chicago Blackhawks have agreed to terms with goaltender Jean-Francois Berube and defenseman Jordan Oesterle on two-year contracts.
