history
In an online vote carried out by the regional authority, the residents of the Primorye region were able to choose the name for the club. Admiral prevailed with 72.2% of the votes against Kassatki (killer whales) with 24.7% and Forpost (outpost) with 3%.
As part of the KHL Junior Draft 2013 , the club secured the KHL rights to some players, some of whom come from neighboring Japan and South Korea . In order to also give the club the opportunity to sign players from the previous KHL participants, an expansion draft was carried out on June 17, 2013 , in which Admiral could select one player from each Russian KHL participant. Previously, each of the Russian participants had to make a list of five players who were approved for the draft.
