Greenville Swamp Rabbits News Release
Greenville, SC - The Greenville Swamp Rabbits, proud ECHL affiliate of the New York Rangers and the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack, today announced the club has re-signed forward Bretton Cameron for the 2016-17 season.
Cameron returns for his sixth season in the Upstate following his acquisition during the 2011-12 campaign. He was named the Swamp Rabbits' third captain in franchise history on October 15, 2014 and continued to serve in that role last season.
The 26-year-old notched 30 points (12g, 18a) and 112 penalty minutes in 54 games last season and has recorded 114 points (45g, 69a) in 238 regular-season contests during his career with Greenville. Overall, he is a veteran of more than 320 ECHL games.
"I am beyond excited to be back for another season in Greenville. My fiancé and I call Greenville home year-round and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else," Cameron said. "With the team becoming more of a staple in the community there is a lot of excitement about this season around the Upstate. I can't wait to get things started and begin work on bringing a championship back to our city!"
A native of Didsbury, Alberta, Cameron debuted with Stockton during the 2010-11 campaign and recorded a career-best 31 points (16g, 15a) in 53 games. He was traded to Greenville from Stockton on January 24, 2012. In addition to his ECHL career, the sixth-year pro has dressed 23 games in the AHL with Hartford and Texas, where he registered six points (1g, 5a).
Prior to turning pro, the 5'11, 185-pound forward played parts of five seasons with the Medicine Hat Tigers of the Western Hockey League (WHL) from 2005-2010. He collected 120 points (62g, 58a) in 179 career games.
