Milwaukee Admirals 32 26 5 1 228 145 The Admirals ended the regular season with a 21 game unbeaten streak, including a 16 game winning streak.
The team attempted to join the USHL prior to this season, but they were unable to come to terms to play at the Milwaukee Arena, which apparently was a requirement to be accepted to the league. The team eventually was accepted after this season.
The Admirals played in 2 postseason tournaments.
- In the Milwaukee Invitational Tournament, the Admirals beat the Detroit Helcats 13-7, but lost in the finals to St. Paul Bruins 4-3.
- In the Chicago Cardinals Invitational Tournament in Crestwood, IL, the Admirals beat the Detroit Buffaloes 8-7 and went on to win the tournament after disposing of the Minneapolis Americans 11-0.
