GREENVILLE, SC – The Greenville Swamp Rabbits, the ECHL affiliate of the Florida Panthers, and the ECHL released the team’s 72-game regular season schedule for the 2022-23 season.
The Swamp Rabbits open their season on their home ice at Bon Secours Wellness Arena on Friday, October 22, 2022, against the newest team in the ECHL, the Savannah Ghost Pirates. The opening weekend continues the following night when the Swamp Rabbits welcome the Norfolk Admirals to Greenville to close out the weekend. The following weekend, the Swamp Rabbits finish October with a pair of home games on October 28 and 29 against their in-state rivals, the South Carolina Stingrays.
SWAMP RABBITS EIGHT HOME GAMES
Fans of the Swamp Rabbits will see their team at home for a season-high eight home games during December, including a game against the Atlanta Gladiators on Wednesday, December 28. While fans are treated to an early abundance of home games, they will also see the Swamp Rabbits at Bon Secours Wellness Arena for six of the seven games scheduled for April.
As they did during the 2021-22 season, the Swamp Rabbits will ring in 2023 with a New Year’s Day meeting with the Jacksonville Icemen on home ice. In addition, Greenville hosts the South Carolina Stingrays on St. Patrick’s Day, March 27, 2023, amidst a pair of home games on the weekend.
