Tonight's opening bout will be a grudge match, so to speak, with the Griffins hosting the Milwaukee Admirals, who eliminated Grand Rapids in last year's Central Division Finals.

Friday's revenge game is also $2 Beer and Hot Dog Night— and stick around after the game for an open skate!

Finishing last year sooner than the team would have liked, the Griffins wrapped up with a 37-23-8-4 record, 86 points and in second place in the Central Division, their best finish since 2017-2018.
