The Norfolk Admirals have signed forward Zach Bannister to an Amateur Tryout Agreement (ATO).

In his four years of college hockey, the 24-year-old forward put up 22 goals and 35 assists for 57 points in 88 games. The move to Stevenson worked out well for Bannister as he had his best collegiate season, putting up 10 goals and 17 assists for 27 points in 28 games.
The Admirals will begin a two-game series on the road tonight vs Reading Royals before they had back to Norfolk to play Reading on Saturday before heading out West.
