Norfolk, Va. – The Norfolk Admirals, ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League’s Winnipeg Jets and American Hockey League’s Manitoba Moose, announced they have signed forward Matt Crasa to a contract for the 2025-26 season.
The 24-year-old native joined the Admirals on an amateur tryout contract on March 20 and made his professional debut two nights later in Reading. In his first game, Crasa had one assist in a 4-1 victory over the Royals. Eight days later, he put together not just his first ECHL goal, but his first multi-point performance as a professional. In total, Crasa played in 11 regular-season games with five points (2g-3a) and six Kelly Cup Playoff games for Norfolk last season.
Crasa played four years at UMass-Lowell, where he posted more than 10 points in each of his seasons with the River Hawks.
