Milwaukee Admirals announce 2021-22 schedule; team opener set for Oct. 16

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Led by fourth-year Head Coach Karl Taylor the Milwaukee Admirals will kick-off their 2021-22 season at home on Saturday, October 16 at 6 p.m., against the Grand Rapids Griffins at Panther Arena. That game will mark 584 days since the Admirals last game, which occurred on March 11, 2020 prior to the AHL season being cut short.

“We are so excited to return to play here in Milwaukee after more than 19 months since our last game at Panther Arena,” said Admirals President, Jon Greenberg. “We enthusiastically look forward to playing in front of OUR fans in OUR building and know that this upcoming season is going to be very special.”

The Admirals 76-game, unbalanced schedule will conclude over six months later when they host the Manitoba Moose on Sunday, April 24.

Opening the season at home is a rarity in recent years for the Ads, who haven’t done so since 2014 when they took a 6-3 win over the Charlotte Checkers at the Bradley Center. Overall for Milwaukee they will play 28 of their 38 homes games on Friday (12), Saturday (12) or Sundays (4). The Admirals will play nine times on Wednesdays, including 10:30 AM School Day games on March 9 and April 6, and then one Thursday contest, December 30 vs. Rockford.

The Ads longest homestand of the season will be seven games from February 26 to March 12, while their longest road trip will be five games and last from November 13 to November 21.

Overall the Admirals schedule is remarkable balanced as they will play between 11 and 13 games with the exception of October when they have only five.

Individual tickets will go on sale very soon, but full and half season tickets, flex plans, and groups for the 2021-22 campaign are on sale now starting for as low as $144. For more information fans should call the Admirals office at (414) 227-0550 or CLICK HERE
