The game coincides with Hockey Day Minnesota, marking the first time in team history that the Admirals play in an outdoor hockey game. It will also be the first time that Hockey Day Minnesota features two professional teams playing outdoors.
We are excited for this unique opportunity for our organization to participate in our first outdoor game. Playing outdoors brings our players back to the roots of where many started their hockey journeys and is a reminder for all of us why we love this game. We are grateful to the Minnesota Wild and Iowa Wild foe the chance to participate in this ‘cool’ game.
Milwaukee Admirals President Jon Greenberg
