Greenville, SC – The Greenville Swamp Rabbits have acquired forward Anthony Rinaldi from the Kansas City Mavericks in exchange for forward, Kamerin Nault.

Rinaldi, 25, previously signed a Standard Player Contract with Kansas City on Oct. 14, 2020, and appeared in five games with the Mavericks this season. The 6-foot-0, 185-pound forward made his professional debut on Dec. 18, 2020, versus Indy.

The Pierrefonds, Quebec native played four seasons at Union College from 2016-2020 and compiled 84 points (40 goals, 44 assists) in 140 games. Before Union, Rinaldi was named OJHL First All-Star Team and served as Alternate Captain with the Kingston Voyageurs in 2015-16. In his lone OJHL season, the right-handed shot posted a stellar 73 points (38 goals, 35 assists) in 52 games.
The Greenville Swamp Rabbits will turn their sights forward to a three-games-in-three-nights stretch beginning on Friday, January 15.
