Greenville Swamp Rabbits

The Greenville Swamp Rabbits dropped the puck on a new NHL affiliation, announced Tuesday.  The ECHL franchise will partner with the Los Angeles Kings and their AHL affiliate, the Ontario Reign, on a two-year deal, beginning this season.  The two-year affiliation will send prospects from the Kings or Reign organizations to Greenville to develop on the ice.  The Swamp Rabbits begin the upcoming season on Oct. 22 at home against the Savannah Ghost Pirates.
