Milwaukee Admirals win 9th straight; top Rockford IceHogs 5-2
MILWAUKEE – Egor Afanasyev scored a pair of goals and dished out an assist to help power the Admirals to their ninth straight win in a 5-2 victory over the Rockford IceHogs on Friday night, Jan. 26, at Panther Arena.
The win kept the Ads perfect in 2024 and earned them some revenge over the IceHogs, who were the last team to beat Milwaukee back on New Year’s Eve in Rockford. Milwaukee’s record improves to 26-10-1 on the season, good for 53 points and first place in the Central Division.
Zach L’Heureux chipped in a goal and an assist in the game to extend his scoring streak to five games (4g-4a). His shorthanded tally in the third period was the Admirals league-leading 10th of the season.

In net, Yaroslav Askarov stopped 21 shots to earn his 16th win of the season and extend his personal winning streak to nine games as well. Both he and fellow netminder Troy Grosenick have won nine in a row, which is one shy of the team record for consecutive wins by a goalie.
Mark Jankowski continued his white-hot play with a first period goal, his 14th of the season and gives him 11 points (6g-5a) in his past five games and 16 points in the month of January. On the season the Hamilton, Ontario native is third in the AHL in scoring with 42 points (14g-28a) and first at +27.
Rookie Joakim Kemell returned to the Ads line-up after missing the past four games and picked up a goal 3:34 into the second period to give Milwaukee a lead they would not relinquish.

For Afanasyev he picked up his 18th and 19th goals of the season and needs just one more to become the 39th player in team AHL history to pot 20 in a season. His three-point night is his fifth of the season and third in his past six games.
The Admirals will go for lucky number 10 when they wrap up the week by visiting the Chicago Wolves on Saturday night, Jan. 27, at 7 p.m. Their next home game will be on Tuesday, Jan. 30, when they host San Diego at 6:30 p.m.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.
The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.
Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.
The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.
Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.
First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
