The Milwaukee Admirals and Nashville Predators have extended their NHL-AHL affiliate agreement through the 2024-25 season. With the partnership starting during the 1998-99 season, this marks the third-longest affiliate relationship in top-level hockey. During the 24 seasons together, the Admirals have won five AHL division titles and the 2004 Calder Cup championship while producing 172 players called up by the Predators. The Admirals currently have 15 players called up to the NHL this season. The affiliation agreement also allows seven head coaches and assistants to move to positions in the NHL. Outgoing Predators general manager David Poile, incoming GM Barry Trotz, and Admirals President Jon Greenberg praised the partnership. Although the two-year deal might seem short, the agreement was strategically extended to accommodate the changing ownership of the Predators. The deal will be completed in parts over the next two years. Compared to other NHL-AHL links, only the Boston and Providence Bruins and the New York Rangers and Hartford Wolf Pack have a longer-standing affiliate partnership than the Admirals and the Predators.
