Talk:Milwaukee Admirals

message: When they joined the AHL was there any controversy over the Admirals name since Norfolk already had it? Did they have to pay Norfolk to be able to keep the name? Probably would be worth mentioning if someone can find some verifiable source on that. 67.46.0.13 06:25, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Doesn't look like there was any controversy at all, according to this news report from the time: http://www2.jsonline.com/sports/etc/jun01/admiral05060401.asp. They certainly didn't have to pay anyone for a name they were using 25 years before the Norfolk club was founded. --Chancemichaels 19:13, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Admirals nickname use

message: I'm really iffy on the founding date. The team started out as an amatuer club. When did it go pro? When it went to the IHL?? The Hershey Bears are another example of amatuer to pro. ccwaters 04:04, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The tradition states that the club started as the Milwaukee Flyers in 1970, then played as an independent for three years until they joined the USHL in 1973. When the USHL made it clear that they were going to switch to amateur (Juniors) status, Lloyd Pettit moved the team to the IHL in 1977. jwhouk 03:52, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Record Scratch

message: Sirois win record might be slightly higher. The 119 tally does not include any possible wins from the 83-84 season when he apparently played 4 games for the Ads. I can't find complete stats for him that year. If someone has that data, could you please add it on. Thanks ccwaters 12:41, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is that the IHL didn't keep goaltender won-loss records in the 1970's and 1980's. I could scour the Journal boxes from that year, or see if I can contact the Admirals to see if they have anything in their archives about it. jwhouk 03:50, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rich Sirois win record 

message: Can we come to a consensus as to the proper format for the founding date, rather than reverting and re-reverting?  1970-1971 is accurate, but January 1970 is even more so (showing that the club was formed in advance of the hockey season, halfway in the previous season).  Any reason why it has to be expressed in the two-year season format?  --Chancemichaels 03:13, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just realized - 1970-1971 is not accurate.   The 1970-1971 season started in November of 1970 and ran through the spring of 1971 (as the name would suggest).  The Wings played their first game in January of 1970, in what would have been the 1969-1970 season had they belonged to a full-season league.  So we have a choice of "1970" or "1969-1970."  But since they were an independent team, not in a full-season league, 1970 seems to be the best choice.  --Chancemichaels 20:21, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Milwaukee admirals 1971.gif

message: Coincidentally but unrelated, the two cities' baseball franchises share a reverse affiliation, as the Nashville Sounds are the AAA affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers.
I wouldn't say it is unrelated, especially given 
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.
Turer is also #2 shareholder of the Brewers (as of 2006) according to http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/harristurer.html and is on the board of directors http://www.biztimes.com/news/2010/4/30/bravo-harris-turer-majority-owner-ceo-of-milwaukee-admirals-hockey-club
Craig Leipold was the majority owner of the Predators - at that time he was on the stadium commission for Milwaukee's Miller Park
http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/columns/news_cut/archive/2008/01/who_is_craig_leipold.shtml
Also, Frontier airlines currently offers nonstop daily service from Milwaukee to/from Nashville - which began with the Milwaukee-based Midwest Express.  ME was the official airline of the Brewers, Admirals and Predators at the time of the Brewers and Admirals purchases (http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/36169999.html).  In minimal googling, I was unable to find a more direct connection between Midwest Express and the Brewers/Admirals organizations.
But basically, the point is that the three franchises are bound together by mutual business interests  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pagelm (talk • contribs) 16:15, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
