The Admirals are members of the ECHL and play their home games at Norfolk’s Scope Arena.
News 3 Sport Director Marc Davis says the 2023-24 season was a memorable one for the Admirals. The team finished with 41 wins and 89 points, good enough for a second place finish in the ECHL's North Division and a 43 point improvement from the previous season, in which Norfolk posted the worst mark in the ECHL.
The Admirals made the playoffs for the first time since 2014 this past spring, winning their first round series against Trois-Rivieres. Norfolk fell to Adirondack in six games to see its season come to an end in the second round, after jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the series.
WGNT-27 is available at channel 44 on Cox, 7/707 on Spectrum (varies by location), 27 on DirecTV, and 6/506 on Verizon Fios.
