Norfolk Admirals News Release
NORFOLK, VA - The Norfolk Admirals, proud ECHL affiliate of the Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose, announced on Friday morning they have signed forward Austen Keating to an amateur tryout contract (ATO).
Keating, 25 was on the ice for practice at Norfolk Scope this morning and is scheduled to being in the lineup for the Admirals.
The Guelph, ON native comes to Norfolk with a credentialed resume in his junior hockey career.

Those 50 points were second best in all of USports.

In the previous two seasons, Keating's club won the USports (AUS) Championship and would finish top-six in scoring for both of those teams.
Keating spent 2015 to 2020 with the OHL's Ottawa 67's. In 309 career regular season games with Ottawa, he would finished with 325 points (113g, 212a). Keating posted 89 points during the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons.
