Gamblers named USHL's top organization

The Green Bay Gamblers did not win the championship this season, but the United States Hockey League still named them the league's top organization.

 

The Gamblers were named Organization of the Year this week, marking the third time they have received the honor. They previously won the award in the 1995-96 season and again during the Tier I era in 2011-12.

 

They were recognized for their efforts on the ice — posting a 38-18-4-2 record, their best since the 2011-12 season, and tying for the league's best home winning percentage — and off the ice, where their Dash for Cash game won the 2026 Clarky Award for Ticketing Initiative of the Year.

 

The Gamblers also saw Zach Wooten (WPG), Landon Hafele (WPG) and Henriquez (BOS) selected in the recent NHL Draft, along with Gamblers alum and Dartmouth freshman Cooper Cleaves (MTL).

 

"Congratulations to the Green Bay Gamblers on being named the USHL Organization of the Year for the 2025-26 season," said Glenn Hefferan, USHL president and commissioner. "This recognition reflects the vision and work led by ownership in Brendan Bruss and the PMI Entertainment Group, and Team President Jeff Mitchell, and rewards the hard work from the entire hockey staff, business staff and players, led by Head Coach and General Manager Pat McCadden and Director of Business Greg Lynch. The Gamblers had an outstanding season and continue to set the bar for excellence in our league. We are proud to celebrate this deserved award with them."
