March 9, 2020 - ECHL (ECHL) - South Carolina Stingrays News Release


NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. - The South Carolina Stingrays are preparing for a busy three-game week in three different cities with trips to Orlando and Jacksonville before returning home to the Lowcountry for a Sunday afternoon matchup with the Icemen at the North Charleston Coliseum.
