MILWAUKEE – Keeping people warm and off the streets – that is the goal of Repairers of the Breach in Milwaukee during the latest arctic blast in southeast Wisconsin.
Opening warming center
What we know:
Repairers of the Breach at 14th and Vliet in Milwaukee was supposed to be closed during the day on Sunday, Jan. 19. But when workers saw the frigid forecast, they knew they had to extend the center’s hours.
What they’re saying:
“We called in volunteers, we called in the staff and we’re having a regular operational day on Sunday,” said James West, Repairers of the Breach executive director. “We have some people with disabilities some health problems and just older people and just some people that would not be able to move around and weather like this.”

“We usually close at 4 o’clock,” West said. “Prepare for the warming room open back up at 7 p.m., but we’re not gonna even ask them to move around for those few hours in this dangerous weather.”
Milwaukee emergency health advisory.

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.
