History
On December 19, 2011, the Kitsap Sun announced that the city of Bremerton had landed an ABA franchise. Originally, the Admirals intended to make the Kitsap Sun Pavilion their home venue. However, the building did not meet the arena requirements of the league (regulation hardwood court floor). Unable to renovate the arena, the Kitsap Admirals made the Bremer Student Center their home.
The Admirals made their ABA debut on November 3, 2012 at the Bremer Student Center against the Seattle Mountaineers. The first basket in team history was a three pointer by Bremerton graduate Ben Wilson. The Admirals lost to Seattle 97-89.
The team earned their first victory in their second game, played on Veterans Day 2012. Kitsap Admirals defeated the Lakewood Panthers at Pierce College.
