The Norfolk Admirals will go into battle for each other once again tonight at 7 as they start their road to the Kelly Cup final against the Trois-Rivières Lions. This will be the first match-up between the two clubs since February 10, when the Admirals took a 4-3 overtime win at Norfolk Scope. The game will be in Trois-Rivières, QC at Colisée Vidéotron Arena. The game can be viewed on FloSports.com.

Though the Admirals took their season series against Trois-Rivières winning seven of eight, seven games were determined by three or fewer goals. With more on the line and the season to play for, this series is looking to be an even tighter one, starting with game one.

The Admirals and the city of Norfolk will be excited to get things going as the team sees hockey in late April for the first time in 10 years. With all the hype surrounding the Admirals in VA, The Market at Waterside District in downtown Norfolk will be hosting a watch party for tonight’s game.

Earlier this week, the Admirals and the Lions announced their Kelly Cup playoff rosters. Those can be found here:
