Rockford, Ill.- Rockford IceHogs Head Coach Ted Dent announced Thursday that forward Brandon Segal has been named the team captain for the 2011-12 season. Segal becomes the fifth captain for the IceHogs in the AHL era, joining Jim Fahey (2007-08), Tim Brent (2008-09), Jake Dowell (2009-10) and Garnet Exelby (2010-11).
Defensemen Brian Connelly and Brian Fahey along with forward Brett McLean will serve as alternate captains.

Segal, 28, is in his ninth professional season and has four points (4g) through the first seven games of the 2011-12 campaign, including two game-winning goals. He spent part of the 2010-11 season with the Dallas Stars, tallying 10 points (5g-5a) in 46 games. The 6-2 forward is the only player to have skated for the IceHogs in both the UHL and AHL eras. Segal appeared in ten games for Rockford in 2004-05, tallying nine points (5g-4a).

Overall, the Richmond, British Columbia native has played in 564 career games, including 92 NHL contests and 462 AHL tilts. Segal has appeared in AHL games with the Milwaukee Admirals, Portland Pirates, Norfolk Admirals, Manchester Monarchs and Texas Stars.

Connelly, 24, will be a permanent alternate captain for Rockford this season. The 2011-12 campaign is his fourth with Rockford and he currently leads the team with six points (6a) through the first seven games.

Fahey, 30, is in his ninth professional season and will wear the "A" during home games. He made his NHL debut with the Washington Capitals in 2010-11, scoring one point (1a) in seven games. The defenseman won a Calder Cup with the Chicago Wolves in 2008.

McLean, 33, will don the "A" during road games in 2011-12, his 13th professional season. The forward made his NHL debut with the Chicago Blackhawks on Dec. 10, 2002 and played in the Swiss-A League for the past two seasons. McLean had four points (4a) in the first four games of the 2011-12 campaign.

Rockford, Illinois-Pro Hockey's all-time leader in penalty minutes spent some time Wednesday giving the IceHogs a few pointers.

Dennis Bonvie got into some legendary brawls while playing with 8 AHL teams and 6 NHL teams. Toughness was his game and his ticket to the NHL. He's trying to bring some of that toughness and confidence to the IceHogs.

Man, Ice Hogs is the worst name for a hockey team ever

 

[icehogfan08]

The team is starting to take better form. Olesz has been very solid and one of the top 6 pieces needed. Him and Pirri have played great together. Segal continues to net goals. Pirri is producing every where. D needs to be worked on a bit, which makes the goalies have bad numbers.

It would be great if they got Ben Smith back. He isn't doing anything on the Hawks and would help the Hogs a lot.

Klinkhammer traded to Sens.

Jeremy Morin has been suspended for 3 games for an elbow incident.

How has Olsen & Lalonde looked?

 

[icehogfan08]

Have never really been impressed with Olsen, lalonde is an alright AHL Defender. Both still need some seasoning
