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 their game this evening (Friday, January 22) against Evansville will be played as scheduled. However, the Heroes Night festivities and specialty jersey auction have been rescheduled. The Heroes Night activities will be moved to Friday, February 19 due to the current poor weather conditions. Further details on the specialty jersey auction will be forthcoming from the team.

Doors will open at 6 p.m. for tonight's game in preparation for a 7 p.m. puck drop at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena.

"Heroes Night is an event dedicated to our local heroes, many of whom are first responders. With the current weather conditions, we wanted to enable them to do the important work they need to do tonight and not miss the opportunity to be honored," Swamp Rabbits Executive Vice President Chris Lewis said. "We still want to recognize and honor these brave men and women and have decided to make our Heroes Night activities an additional part of our Celebrate Greenville festivities on February 19."

The Swamp Rabbits are offering a 2-for-1 ticket special for the next home game on February 13 at 8 p.m. to all individuals who present an unused game ticket from tonight (January 22) at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena box office.
