As the NZIHL has grown so has the Admirals family, always welcoming kiwi talent and keeping the young core that it began in 2005. The club is tight-knit believes in hard physical work to garner victories.<\/p>\n

The club has always been based out of the Paradice Ice Arena in Avondale, Auckland which in itself has a proud 35+ years operating history. In early 2010 the Arena received a massive renovation which brought it to international standards and allowed the Admirals club to install their very own changing room (something not that common among NZ ice hockey clubs).<\/p>\n
