GREENVILLE, SC - The Greenville Swamp Rabbits announced today that the club has signed forward Jake Elmer to an ECHL contract ahead of the 2022-23 season.
Elmer, 23, remains in the ECHL's South Division, signing with the Swamp Rabbits after a two-season stint with the Jacksonville Icemen. The Calgary, AB native spent the last three seasons under contract with the New York Rangers, Jacksonville's NHL affiliate.

Before his move to Jacksonville, the right-hander played a season with the Maine Mainers, posting 23 points (12g, 11a) in his ECHL debut season. That same season, 2019-20, he added an addition two games at the AHL level to the five he accumulated the previous season with the Wolf Pack.
