Here are the new player numbers and the number changes for returning players this year. Not that you’d ever confuse Joe Piskula for Jon Blum…but these are the numbers to get used to as we get ready for the opening night viewing party at Major Goolsby’s on Friday night.
#5 – Theo/Teddy Ruth
#7 – Joe Piskula
#11 – Paul Crowder
#16 – Mathieu Tousignant
#17 – Mike Liambas
#18 – Colton Sissons
#20 – Miikka Salomaki
#21 – Simon Moser
#31 – Marek Mazanec
#33 – Bryan Rodney
#55 – Charles-Olivier Roussel
#88 – Joonas Rask
According to Todd’s jersey number archive at Milwaukeehockey.com, Rask is NOT going to be the first #88 in Admiral history…that distinction goes to Dan Hodgson, from the 88-89 IHL Admirals.

At least Mazonec isn’t using #2 like on his foreign teams
Not that it matters , Jon Blum is wearing # 24 for Iowa and Old Boy Greg Zanon is wearing # 5 for the S.A. Rampage.
