The '''Milwaukee Admirals''' are a professional [[ice hockey]] team based in [[Milwaukee]]. They are the [[American Hockey League]] (AHL) affiliate of the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL)'s [[Nashville Predators]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=June 16, 2014|title=Nashville Predators renew affiliation with the Cincinnati Cyclones|url=http://predators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=722782|access-date=March 28, 2016|website=[[Nashville Predators]]}}</ref> They play their homes games at the [[UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena|University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee Panther Arena]].

The team has been playing since 1970, originally as an amateur team called the '''Milwaukee Wings''', but were renamed as the Admirals after their first season. They played an independent schedule until joining the semiprofessional [[United States Hockey League]] (USHL) in 1973. In 1977, the Admirals joined the [[International Hockey League (1945–2001)|International Hockey League]] (IHL) when the USHL transitioned to a [[Junior ice hockey|junior league]]. When the IHL ceased operations in 2001, the Admirals joined the AHL.

==History==

===Independent era===
The Admirals first took to the ice in the winter of 1970 as an amateur club known as the Milwaukee Wings. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Citizens Benefit Association, they lost their first game on January 25 when the Madison All-Stars beat them 17–7.<ref>"Local Skaters Lose In Debut".

''[[Milwaukee Journal Sentinel|Milwaukee Journal]]'', via [[NewsBank]]: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Historical Newspapers. February 1, 1970.

The next year the team was sold by the original owner Reed Fansher to a group of investors. One of the investors, Erwin J. Merar, owned an appliance store and the team was renamed the "Admirals" after [[Admiral (electrical appliances)|a brand of household appliances]] sold in Merar's store.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Caputo|first=Paul|date=November 22, 2019|title=Milwaukee Admirals celebrate refrigerators with 50th season logo|url=http://news.sportslogos.net/2019/11/22/milwaukee-admirals-celebrate-refrigerators-with-50th-season-logo/|access-date=November 22, 2019|website=[[SportsLogos.net]]}}</ref>

===United States Hockey League era===
Beginning with the [[1973 in sports#Ice hockey|1973]]–[[1974 in sports#Ice hockey|74]] season the Admirals joined the [[United States Hockey League]]. Their first season in a league was not particularly successful as they ended the season in last place in their division. They won only 11 games, lost 35, and tied two games that season.{{citation needed|date=December 2015}}

The Admirals won the USHL league championship in [[1976 in sports#Ice hockey|1976]], winning seven straight games in the league's playoffs. In the off-season, the team was purchased by former [[Chicago Blackhawks]] announcer [[Lloyd Pettit]] and his wife, [[Jane Bradley Pettit]].{{citation needed|date=December 2015}}

===International Hockey League era===
For the [[1977 in sports#Ice hockey|1977]]–[[1978 in sports#Ice hockey|78]] season the Admirals joined the [[International Hockey League (1945–2001)|International Hockey League]] as the USHL was becoming a strictly amateur league. The Admirals appeared in the IHL's Turner Cup finals only once ([[1983 in sports#Ice hockey|1983]]), where they lost to Toledo in six games.{{citation needed|date=December 2015}}

=== American Hockey League era ===
The Admirals, along with five other IHL franchises, joined the [[American Hockey League]] for the [[2001-02 AHL season]]<ref>{{Cite web|title=Milwaukee Admirals hockey team [AHL] statistics and history at hockeydb.com|url=http://www.hockeydb.com/stte/milwaukee-admirals-6842.html|access-date=March 28, 2016|website=HockeyDB}}</ref> when the IHL ceased operations. The team was allowed to keep their nickname despite the presence of the [[Norfolk Admirals (AHL)|Norfolk Admirals]] in the AHL, as Milwaukee had used the nickname since 1970, well before the Norfolk team was established as the [[Hampton Roads Admirals]] in the [[ECHL]]. (In the 2015–16 season, that AHL franchise moved to the AHL's Pacific Division as the fourth incarnation of the [[San Diego Gulls]], and a [[Norfolk Admirals (ECHL)|Norfolk]] club was re-established in the ECHL.)

[[File:DSC 0879 (26668742198).jpg|thumb|left|2003-04 Admirals with the Calder Cup]]

They won their first Calder Cup in 2004 when they defeated the [[Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins]]. Prior to the finals, Milwaukee needed seven games to defeat the [[Cincinnati Mighty Ducks]] in the first round. Then the Admirals defeated the [[Chicago Wolves]] in six games to advance to the conference finals. The Admirals then eliminated the [[Rochester Americans]] four games to one. Milwaukee went on to sweep the [[Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins]] to win the Calder Cup. The Admirals completed a rare postseason run in which they needed one fewer game to eliminate their opponents in each subsequent series.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Calder Cup Champions - Players {{!}} AHL|url=http://theahl.com/championship-players-s11575|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100227101122/http://theahl.com/championship-players-s11575|archive-date=February 27, 2010|access-date=March 28, 2016|website=[[American Hockey League]]}}</ref>

The Admirals were purchased in June 2005 by a group of investors, led by Harris J. Turer, including [[Milwaukee Brewers]] owner [[Mark Attanasio]], assistant general manager [[Gord Ash]], and pitcher [[Ben Sheets]].  The Brewers subsequently became the sole uniform sponsor of the Admirals, and the Admirals wear a Brewers logo patch on their [[Hockey jersey|sweaters]].{{citation needed|date=December 2015}}

The Admirals won their second division title as a member of the American Hockey League in 2006, clinching the title on the last day of their schedule with a win over the [[Grand Rapids Griffins]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Karnosky|first=Jason|title=Memories of Calder Cup Title Still Strong|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905214831/http://www.milwaukeeadmirals.com/news/1129cup|url=http://www.milwaukeeadmirals.com/news/1129cup|archive-date=September 5, 2015|access-date=March 28, 2016|website=Milwaukee Admirals}}</ref>

In the [[2006 Calder Cup playoffs]] after narrowly winning a seven-game playoff series over the [[Iowa Stars]], Milwaukee swept both the [[Houston Aeros (1994–2013)|Houston Aeros]] and [[Grand Rapids Griffins]] to advance to their second Calder Cup final series. To their disappointment, the Admirals would lose in six games to the [[Hershey Bears]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=2006 AHL PLAYOFFS|url=http://theahl.com/2006-playoffs/|access-date=October 24, 2016|website=[[American Hockey League]]}}</ref>

On August 1, 2006, the Admirals unveiled a new logo and a change in color scheme from the traditional red-and-blue to black, white, and light blue.<ref>{{Cite web|date=July 16, 2015|title=Ads Unveil Bold New Look|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150716165004/http://www.milwaukeeadmirals.com/news/071615newlogo|url=http://www.milwaukeeadmirals.com/news/071615newlogo|archive-date=July 16, 2015|access-date=March 28, 2016|website=Milwaukee Admirals}}</ref> They used this logo until 2015, when the Admirals unveiled another new logo, keeping the Lake Michigan blue from 2006, but replaced black with navy blue.  Also, the skeleton motif was kept with the hat that adorns the skeleton's head as a callback to the Admirals logos used from 1976 to 1997.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Creamer|first=Chris|date=July 15, 2015|title=Fear This: Admirals Evolve, Unveil New Logos and Uniforms|url=https://news.sportslogos.net/2015/07/15/fear-this-admirals-evolve-unveil-new-logos-and-uniforms/|access-date=July 15, 2015|website=[[SportsLogos.net]]}}</ref> This logo received very positive reviews, resulting in it becoming [[SportsLogos.net]]'s 2015 Best New Primary Logo of the Year.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Creamer|first=Chris|date=December 16, 2015|title=2015 Logo of the Year Awards: The Best New Sports Logos of the Year|url=https://news.sportslogos.net/2015/12/16/2015-logo-of-the-year-awards-the-best-new-sports-logos-of-the-year-2/|access-date=December 16, 2015|website=[[SportsLogos.net]]}}</ref>

On March 16, 2016, Milwaukee Admirals owner/CEO Harris Turer along with Wisconsin Center District (WCD) announced that the Admirals signed a 10-year contract, bringing the Admirals to the [[UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena|University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee Panther Arena]] for the 2016-17 AHL season.<ref>{{Cite web|date=March 16, 2016|title=Admirals to move to UWM Panther Arena|url=http://theahl.com/admirals-to-move-to-uwm-panther-arena|access-date=March 28, 2016|website=[[American Hockey League]]}}</ref> This 10-year contract also results in a $6.4 million investment to bring the arena up to AHL standards with the Admirals contributing two million and the rest being supplied by the Wisconsin Center District.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Hess|first=Corrinne|date=May 17, 2016|title=Admirals improvements beginning at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena|url=https://www.biztimes.com/2016/05/17/admirals-improvements-beginning-at-uw-milwaukee-panther-arena/|access-date=October 24, 2016|website=Milwaukee Business News}}</ref>

The team won its second regular season championship in the 2019–20 season, which was curtailed by the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. Due to the ongoing restrictions during the pandemic, the Admirals were one of three teams that opted out of the [[2020–21 AHL season]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=January 4, 2021|title=28 teams to participate in 2020-21 AHL season|url=https://theahl.com/28-teams-participate-2020-21-season|access-date=January 4, 2021|website=[[American Hockey League]]}}</ref> After the Admirals announced their season was cancelled, team ownership also announced that all of their full-time employees would still be paid for the year.

On November 17, 2023, the Admirals made history when defenseman [[Luke Prokop]] made his AHL debut as the first openly gay player in the league's history.<ref>{{cite web |title=Milwaukee Admirals' Luke Prokop becomes first openly gay player to appear in AHL game |url=https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5067133/2023/11/17/luke-prokop-ahl-gay-player-admirals/ |website=The Athletic |publisher=The New York Times |access-date=28 November 2023 |date=17 November 2023}}</ref>

During the 2023-24 season, the Admirals set a new franchise record of 19 consecutive wins, which is also the second-longest winning streak in AHL history as of 2024. The winning streak lasted from January 5, 2024, which was also their first game of the calendar year, until February 25.

===NHL affiliation===
The Admirals have been the top-level affiliate of the [[Nashville Predators]] since that team's founding in 1998.<ref>{{cite web |title=ADS, PREDS EXTEND AFFILIATION |url=https://www.milwaukeeadmirals.com/news/ads-preds-extend-affiliation/ |website=Milwaukee Admirals |access-date=28 November 2023 |date=4 May 2023}}</ref>
{{blockquote|text = "I like to say that for our players, the road to Nashville runs through Milwaukee and a look at our roster illustrates this. (T)his is the kind of environment that we want our prospects to develop in."|author=Nashville General Manager David Poile}}

Coincidentally, the two cities' baseball franchises share a reverse affiliation, as the [[Nashville Sounds]] are the [[Triple-A (baseball)|Triple-A]] affiliate of the [[Milwaukee Brewers]].

During the 2006–07 season, the Admirals were also part of an unusual affiliation agreement with the [[Edmonton Oilers]], who used five partial affiliates in the AHL for the 2006–07 season. These five affiliates included the Milwaukee Admirals, the [[Grand Rapids Griffins]], the [[Iowa Stars]], the [[Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins]], and the [[Hamilton Bulldogs (AHL)|Hamilton Bulldogs]]. This arrangement lasted one season, as the Oilers announced a three-year affiliation with the [[Springfield Falcons]] on March 19, 2007.

=== Mascot ===

During the 1998 Admirals rebranding efforts, the Admirals created a new mascot, named '''Roscoe'''. Roscoe is a "sea dog"-like animal with bright orange fur, a hockey puck-shaped nose, and wears a [[bicorne]] admiral's hat along with an Admirals jersey with the number 98, representing the year Roscoe joined the Admirals organization.<ref>{{Cite web|date=November 18, 2018|title=The Randoms 2016: Best Milwaukee-area sports mascot (non-professional)|url=https://milwaukeerecord.com/sports/the-randoms-2016-best-milwaukee-area-sports-mascot-non-professional/|access-date=November 15, 2021|website=Milwaukee Record}}</ref>

At times during breaks and intermission, Roscoe will also ride a zamboni modified to look like a pirate ship. When interacting with fans, Roscoe will sometimes take souvenir hockey pucks from fans and place them on his nose.

In 2014, when the Nashville Predators' mascot, Gnash, got injured, Roscoe was "called up" to the Predators and to the NHL, joining with other mascots to entertain fans in Nashville while Gnash recovered.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Angus|first=Maren|date=October 8, 2014|title=Predators' mascot on injured reserve list|work=Tennessean|url=https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nhl/predators/2014/10/08/predators-nashville-mascot-gnash-injured/16947589/|access-date=November 13, 2021}}</ref>
