NORFOLK, Va. -- The Norfolk Admirals have signed former Clarkson
forward Matt Syroczynski to a Professional Tryout Contract
(PTO).
Syroczynski, a 6-foot-5, 225-pound forward from Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, comes to the Admirals after playing four games with
the IHL's Fort Wayne Komets. He led the Komets with four goals and
six points.
The 26-year-old fourth-year pro has appeared in three prior AHL

and Binghamton Senators) and has one assist and two penalty minutes
in those games.
Syroczynski has appeared in 102 career ECHL games with the
Cincinnati Cyclones, recording 55 goals and 90 points with 117
penalty minutes. He was the second-leading goal scorer with the
2007-08 Cincinnati squad that captured the ECHL's Kelly Cup
Championship.
Syroczynski also appeared in 73 games with the Komets as a rookie
in 2006-07 when Fort Wayne was in the former United Hockey League,
recording 20 goals and 41 points with 106 penalty minutes.
Syroczynski played college hockey at Clarkson University and the
University of Vermont.
