ROCKFORD — The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum on Friday unveiled a limited edition vintage Rockford IceHogs bobblehead.

The museum, founded by a pair of Guilford High School graduates now living in Milwaukee, released the bobblehead as part of its American Hockey League Vintage Bobbleheads collection. That collection is coming out in conjunction with the start of the AHL season today.

The IceHogs bobblehead marks the first in the series featuring all 32 AHL teams, and each bobblehead is officially licensed by the AHL.

“We’re excited to be working with the AHL to release the first collection of vintage bobbleheads featuring every American Hockey League team,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “The IceHogs are coming off a successful season and they are looking to generate some more excitement for the hockey-loving fans in Rockford in the 2022-23 season.”

The smiling Rockford IceHogs bobblehead figure is suited up in a red, black and white jersey featuring the team’s logo and holding a hockey stick. It stands on a circular ice-like base bearing the IceHogs’ name.
