Rockford's Ice Course looks great in the Calder Cup playoffs. They did their fourth straight win when they led the Milwaukee Admiral 2-0 in the second round.

This gave them three chances to end the series. After losing the next two, both teams competed in the championship five games in Milwaukee on Sunday.

The negative impact of Game 5 on Rockford. Chase de Leo took his first playoff for Milwaukee, giving them a 1-0 lead.

However, Icehogs demonstrated a certain life span in the first ten minutes of the second phase. Zach Sanford scored two goals in less than three minutes, giving Rockford a 2-1 lead.

Before the middle frame ends, the Admiral leads the lead. Fedor Svechkov and Jesse Ylonen scored back-to-back goals 3-2.

At 11:09 in the third stage, Joey Anderson stuffed into the fifth playoffs to tie the score for the Icehogs. By then, it’s clear that both teams are looking to keep moving forward. Although they ended up in the regular season standings, it is an understatement to say they matched evenly.

60 minutes is not enough to solve this game or series. In the fourth stage, only 1:38, Fedor Svechkov won the second place in the game and won the series for Milwaukee. It was a tough showdown between two great teams. It boils down to a sudden death target is appropriate.

Now, the Admiral will enter the Central Division Champion in the Calder Cup playoffs. They will see the Texas stars in the series.

As for Rockford, there will be some changes. Next year, the Chicago Blackhawks may have a handful of players in the opening night roster.

Like Artyom Levshunov, Ethan del Mastro and Nolan Allan, they will compete for work in bootcamps. There are also some players on the Icehogs roster who may hope to make their NHL debut in the fall.

Reinforcements may also be on the way. The Blackhawks will likely have some young men like Taige Harding and Marek Vanacker who play in Rockford and start their careers.

Goalkeeper Drew Commesso deserves praise. He gives Icehogs a chance to win every night. The Blackhawks have a cloudy reserve in 2025-26, but he will be mixed up.

There is only time to tell if Rockford needs to play again next season. In the AHL, all NHL trades affect their ice players roster, which can be difficult.

Every player, including veterans like Joey Anderson and Brett Seney, should be proud of their year.
