A Tough Division Awaits

As usual, the Central Division won’t make life easy. With deep rosters in Rockford, Grand Rapids, and Chicago, plus the challenge of Western Conference visitors like San Jose and Henderson, Milwaukee’s depth will be tested early and often.

But with proven leadership and a solid fan base behind them, the Admirals are once again positioned to compete.
