“Carson Musser exemplifies everything that we want as a player,” said Jeff Carr, Admirals General Manager & Head Coach. “Carson is a hard-nosed and effective teammate who pushes for more each day. Battling through multiple injuries and ups and downs, he’s solidified himself as an all-time fan favorite in Norfolk Admirals history. He has given us a lot more ups than downs because of his work ethic and talent.”
