The Admirals play in Virginia in the US and were most recently the ECHL affiliate to the Carolina Hurricanes and their former AHL affiliate the Chicago Wolves.

They will now house Jets prospects working their way up the professional ladder.

Admirals GM and Head Coach Jeff Carr said the following about the Jets.

"Last year, our organization made a concerted, positive transformation to our on and off-ice product that our incredible city and fanbase has been desperate for. This affiliation helps us build a solid base as we continue to ascend in our new culture."

"Winnipeg's dedication to winning and development is no secret in the hockey world," Carr continued. "With the depth that Winnipeg has and their view on development, they're going to be very involved with our roster. We both felt joining forces together with the goals of character, winning, and development outweighed any obstacle of geographical distance."

The Admirals will work closely with the Manitoba Moose to ensure Winnipeg's prospects get the best development possible.
