NORFOLK, Va. – Union College men's hockey senior Carter Korpi signed a standard players' contract with the Norfolk Admirals of the ECHL, the organization announced Wednesday.

Korpi scored 25 goals and produced nine assists in his four seasons in Schenectady. He played his 100th collegiate game on Jan. 24 against Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the 2026 Mayors' Cup. 

The South Lyon, Mich. native netted five shorthanded goals during his Union career, including three as a sophomore in 2023-24. He also scored three power-play goals and had four game-winners for the Garnet Chargers. 

Korpi is the sixth Union men's hockey senior to ink a professional deal since the conclusion of the 2025-26 season. Brandon Buhr was signed by the Toronto Maple Leafs, and four more of Korpi's classmates made their way to the ECHL in March.
