Swamp Rabbits Unveil 2016-17 Schedule

April 28, 2016 - ECHL (ECHL)
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, are pleased to unveil their 2016-17 regular-season schedule. For the third consecutive year, the Swamp Rabbits will begin the season in the Sunshine State with a 7:30 p.m. matchup against the Florida Everblades on Oct. 14, which will also open a four-game road trip. Greenville's home opener is slated for Friday, Oct. 28 against the Wichita Thunder.

The ECHL schedule is comprised of 72 games: 36 home and 36 away. Once again, the Swamp Rabbits are excited to boast a family and fan-friendly schedule that has 27 of the team's 36 home games being played on a Friday night, Saturday night or Sunday afternoon. Greenville's home schedule will also feature five Thursday night games, two Tuesday night contests and two Wednesday night games.

"We're thrilled about the way our schedule has been created with 75-percent of our home games taking place on a weekend date," Swamp Rabbits General Manager Chris Lewis said. "It provides a great opportunity for the entire community to come out and enjoy the entertainment of Swamp Rabbits hockey. We look forward to finalizing our promotional schedule and letting fans know about the great theme nights that will highlight the 2016-17 season."

"We thank our partners with Bon Secours Wellness Arena and the ECHL front office staff for their help in crafting a fan and family-friendly schedule."

Fans will have the opportunity to see 11 different opponents on SANDLAPPER Securities Rink this season, including the first-ever meetings with Wichita in the home opener and the Tulsa Oilers on Sunday, Jan. 8.

Greenville's most common opponent will be its in-state rival, as the Swamp Rabbits and South Carolina Stingrays will battle a whopping 14 times (six at home, eight on the road). The Swamp Rabbits will also meet Florida nine times, as well as Orlando and Atlanta 13 times each. Greenville will wrap up the 2016-17 regular season in Duluth, Georgia on Saturday, Apr. 8. It will be the fifth time in seven years that Greenville will conclude the season against the Gladiators.

Among the many highlights of the road schedule is the return of the New Year's Eve contest, when the club travels to Orlando to ring in 2017 against the Solar Bears.  

All home contests at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena, unless otherwise noted, will begin at 7 p.m., excluding Sunday afternoon games, which will begin at 3 p.m.
