Feb. 11th, 2020 — Wisconsin Blaze hosts the Shizuoka Gymrats, an international team from Shizuoka, Japan. The Blaze defeated the Gymrats 149-86 at the Community First Champion Center in Appleton, WI. Blaze was one of 24 stops the Gymrats will take while playing in their 24-game North American tour.  The Gymrats are the ABA’s only international team and they play their entire 24-game season in North America.

“Hosting the Gymrats was a great experience for organization,” stated Ally Gwidt, General Manager of Wisconsin Blaze Pro. “We had the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about their culture, overseas basketball and language. I am hoping we can develop on that relationship and continue growing with their organization in the future.”
