ALBUM DROP
Chris Album has dominated the 2023 campaign.

Green Bay's seven goals were also the most since that same game, which GB won 8-0.  Album added to his incredible season by scoring the tying goal in Green Bay's 3-1 win over Oakland on October 28.

WE'RE TALKIN' ABOUT PLAYOFFS???
The Phoenix secured the No. 2 seed with a 4-2 win over Milwaukee last week. It is Green Bay's second-highest regular season finish under ninth-year Head Coach Jeremy Bonomo, reaching first place in 2017.
