Originally invented by bored henchmen looking to pass the time at Doctor Berserko’s secret Antarctic lair, hockey has since overtaken polo and unicycle jousting as America's pastime. Hop on the bandwagon with today’s Groupon. For $10, you get one gold-level ticket to a Norfolk Admirals game (a $19 value on the day of the game). Take your Groupon to will call to exchange for a ticket at your choice of the Admirals' final three regular-season home games: Wednesday, April 7, vs. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton at 7:15 p.m.; Friday, April 9, vs. Hershey at 7:15 p.m.; or Saturday, April 10, vs. Hersey at 7:15 p.m. Games are played on the Admirals' home ice, located in the Scope Arena. With gold-level seating (shown here), Groupon holders will access the inner ring of fan seats for unobstructed views of the icy action.

Gathering as a furious cloud of super-cooled water, the Norfolk Admirals eventually burst from the American Hockey League nimbus, emerging as NHL stars for the Tampa Bay Lightning. As the storm gathers, cheer on the tail end of their regular season this early April, as they hockey for position in the league's East Conference. The road to the season's close looks tough but promising as the Admirals face bitter rivals from Hershey and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Hockey is like the magnificent mutt of the sporting world. You get the suspense of watching an object swish through a net (like in basketball or soccer), the thrill of rambunctious brawls (boxing), the elegance of ice-skating, and the utter brutality of golf all combined into one action-packed event. Today's deal brings a collective spirited thrill, making it a timely opportunity for secret admirers and admitted admirals to unite in ice-side seats.
