Greenville, SC – Rookie forward Shawn Cameron has been returned to the Greenville Swamp Rabbits from the Utica Comets. Additionally, goaltender John Lethemon has been returned to Greenville from the Ontario Reign, and veteran forward Brendan Connolly has been released from his Standard Player Contract.
In eight games this season with the Bits, Cameron posted five points (two goals, three assists). The Sherbrooke, Quebec native converted his first professional goal on February 11 versus Orlando after debuting on January 15 at South Carolina.
Cameron, 25, turned pro after playing his last four seasons at Rochester Institute of Technology (R.I.T). From 2016-2020, the 5-foot-11, 194-pound forward registered 71 points (35 goals, 36 assists) in 140 games at R.I.T.
