The Lakeshore Chinooks were honored with a nomination at this year’s Wisconsin Sports Awards.

Along with the Milwaukee Admirals, Milwaukee Brewers, Green Bay Packers and Madison Mallards, the Chinooks were nominated for the Time Warner Cable Business Class Fan-Friendly Team of the Year Award.

The award is given to the professional organization whose customer service, affordablilty, accessibility, and performance made you the most proud to be its fan. The Milwaukee Brewers went home with the award, but for the Chinooks, the nomination alone was satisfying.

"As a first-year organization, to be nominated for a Wisconsin Sports Award is a great honor," said Chinooks Assistant GM Chad Bauer. "Especially when considering the other nominees–it’s pretty good company to be in."
