Rockford RiverHawksThe Rockford RiverHawks (independent; Frontier League) are no more, after Rock River Valley Baseball decided to launch a name-the-team context for 2013.

All suggestions must be submitted online at www.rockfordriverhawks.com/nameteam. All entries must include suggested team name as well as a name, address, phone number and email address.
