The Milwaukee Admirals hockey team will play two preseason
games in September. The pair of match-ups will mark a weekend-break from the
team's training schedule in preparation for their October 11th
regular-season opener at Abbotsford. The Admirals play the first home game of
their 35th year as an NHL farm team at the BMO Harris Bradley Center
on October 19 against Chicago.
The Admirals home-set preseason game will be held at the
Milwaukee School of Engineering's Kern Center. The Rockford Ice Hogs travel to
meet the team on September 27th at 7PM for the first exhibition
match for both sides. Tickets to the game are half-off for students at the
college.
Milwaukee hosted Chicago at the Kern Center for an early
October preseason meeting in 2012. The Wolves took home a win with a 3-1
victory over their northern rivals.
The Admirals have a chance for vengeance against Chicago in
their second exhibition game of the 2013 preseason. The Wolves welcome the team
to the Hoffman Estates Ice Arena on September 28th at 7PM.
The two-game preseason is a short prequel to the Admirals
recently released 76-game regular-season schedule. The team joins Chicago,
Rockford, and Grand Rapids in returning to represent the American Hockey
League's Midwestern division. Moving from Houston, the newly formed Iowa Wild
will compete as the fifth team in the division in 2013. Highlight meetings
outside of the division include three home-home series against Hamilton,
Toronto, and Utica, as well as games against the likes of Oklahoma City, Texas,
and Lake Erie.
