NORFOLK, VA  —  The ECHL announced the rosters for the 2020 Warrior ECHL All-Star Classic today. Among the names on the roster was Admirals forward, Roman Ammirato.

Ammirato has been one of the most consistent players for Norfolk this season. He has played in 16 games with the Admirals, putting up 14 total points (3g, 11a).

The Williamstown, NJ native played two years at Union College (NCAA), then finished out his college career at Utica College (NCAA D-III). Ammirato led his Utica in points for both seasons.

Ammirato began his professional career in Tulsa, playing in 66 games before signing with Greenville at the start of this season.

Following the format established last season, the Warrior/ECHL All-Star Classic presented by Toyota will feature a 3-on-3 tournament with four teams competing for the top spot. The host Wichita Thunder will make up two of the four teams and face-off against the other two teams made up of All-Star players from the Eastern and Western Conference. These four teams will compete in a 3-on-3 tournament with rally scoring in order to crown a winner. The 2020 Kansas Star Casino/ECHL All-Star Skills Competition will take place in between rounds of the tournament, with results counting towards the cumulative score.
