Admirals Opt Out of 2020-21 AHL Season

January 4, 2021 By Bill Scott

Milwaukee Admirals Owner/CEO Harris Turer announced today (Monday) that the team has opted out of the 2020-21 American Hockey League season due to the financial and related implications caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic.

“We are disappointed that we will be unable to play hockey for the current AHL season,” said Turer.  “Unfortunately the prospect of playing the season without fans and the lack of any revenue was too difficult to manage.  We look forward to getting back on the ice and welcoming our fans back to Panther Arena for the 2021-22 season.  We continue to have a strong relationship with the Nashville Predators and the Wisconsin Center District, who have both been helpful and supportive during this time.  In addition we would like to thank our fans and corporate partners for their backing and dedication and we look forward to working with them as we look ahead to the 2021-22 season and beyond.”

The Admirals have consistently ranked among the AHL’s top teams, winning the 2004 Calder Cup and qualifying for the playoffs 19 times since the 1998-99 season, their first as a Nashville affiliate.”

Admirals extend point streak

April 13, 2016 By Bill Scott

Milwaukee Admirals logoThe Milwaukee Admirals have tied a team-record for their longest point streak with a 3-1 home ice victory over the Chicago Wolves on Tuesday night.

Trevor Murphy scored the game-winner with more than four minutes to play.  Max Reinhard had one goal and one assist and Juuse Saros had 28 saves in goal.

The Admirals have now scored at least one team point in their last 13 games, something they haven’t done in 23 years.  The streak includes eleven wins and two shutout losses, and they’ve won their last seven games.

The Admirals have clinched the American Hockey League’s Central Division crown and they still have an outside chance of winning the Western Conference title.  Ontario can secure that distinction with two points in their final two games.

Admirals look to keep their season alive

May 1, 2014 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Admirals look to stave off elimination tonight (Thursday) when they face the Toronto Marlies in game three of their best-of-five Western Conference Quarterfinal matchup at Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto.

The Marlies grabbed the first two games of the series at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, outscoring the Admirals 11-4.  Three of those 11 goals were empty netters and four more came on the power play.

The Admirals are looking to improve on special teams.  They’re just 1 for 12 on the power play (8.3%), while the penalty kill has allowed four goals in 16 chances.

If the Admirals win tonight, they would force a game four on Saturday afternoon in Toronto (2pmCT).
