The '''West Auckland Admirals''' are an ice hockey team from [[Auckland]], [[New Zealand]].  The club was founded in 2005 and plays in the [[New Zealand Ice Hockey League]].


[[File:West Auckland Admirals.png|thumb|200px]]
The '''West Auckland Admirals''' is an [[ice hockey]] team based in [[Auckland]], New Zealand and are members of the [[New Zealand Ice Hockey League]]. The Team has always been based out of the Paradice Ice in Avondale, Auckland which in itself has a proud 41-year operating history. In 2011 the rink completed a massive renovation which brought it to international standards and allowed the Admirals team to install their very own changing room (something not that common among NZ ice hockey clubs).

The West Auckland Admirals is an ice hockey team based in Auckland, New Zealand and are members of the New Zealand Ice Hockey League. The Team has always been based out of the Paradice Ice in Avondale, Auckland which in itself has a proud 41-year operating history. In 2011 the rink completed a massive renovation which brought it to international standards and allowed the Admirals team to install their very own changing room (something not that common among NZ ice hockey clubs).
