The IceHogs supplied players to Nashville's primary affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League.
[2][3] During the 2006–07 season, the IceHogs played in the UHL's Western Division with the Quad City Mallards, Chicago Hounds, Bloomington PrairieThunder, and Fort Wayne Komets.
Many of the alternate jerseys were related to cultural icons such as Elvis Presley and St. Patrick's Day, or were autographed by Rockford-area celebrities such as Rick Nielsen.
[citation needed] The UHL IceHogs were replaced by an American Hockey League team of the same name for the 2007–08 season.
The MetroCentre purchased the IceHogs name and logo from Tri Vision Sports and applied them to the new AHL franchise.
