…Ads lose 2-0 (one empty  netter) . Just need to make the shots on goal count and this team would be on fire.

Admirals fall to Portland 6-5 on Oct 24th

Even though they were outscored, it was actually a fun game to watch and the Ad’s put forth a good effort.  Even Aaron had a good time!

Norfolk Admirals – Oct 9, 2009

Admirals had their first home game of the 2009/2010 season. Close game but the Ad’s came up on the short end of a 2-1 score although they outshot Manchester almost 2 to 1.   Good game and the rematch is tonight at 7:05pm with a FREE public skate session with the team right after the game. There will be a limited supply of free skate rentals too….Come support and meet the team and get your photo taken with some of them.

August 26th 2009 – Shadowlawn Surf Club

Finally…after fighting all night with my router and then website, I give you August 26 , 2009’s Shadowlawn Surf Club Photos.   Please know that I’m aware some people are having problems with the galleries not resizing correctly when you click on a thumbnail. If you do click on a smaller image and the page appears to go blank, look at the bottom and left sides of your web browser, if you see scroll bars that means the page is there, it’s just too big for your screen, scroll halfway to the right and halfway down and the larger images should be in the center. Sorry for this inconvenience, but I’m an idiot and can not figure out why this is happening…
