(GREENVILLE, S.C.) – The Greenville Swamp Rabbits, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings, announced today that rookie defenseman Parker Berge has been named to the 2024-25 ECHL Eastern Conference Midseason All-Star Team.
The roster for the ECHL All-Stars was determined by a vote of coaches, team captains, media relations directors, and broadcasters. The coaches were determined by the team with the highest points percentage in each conference through January 5, 2025 games.
Berge heads into the season’s midway point as the second-leading scorer of the Swamp Rabbits. The 6’0”, 180-pound blueliner has five goals, 19 assists, and 24 points to his credit through 34 games in his first professional season. Berge’s 19 assists lead the Swamp Rabbits and are tied for the ECHL lead amongst first-year defensemen, doubling for a sixth share amongst ECHL first-year professionals.
A native of Edmonton, Alberta, Berge, 22, turned professional this last season following the end of his WHL major-junior career. Throughout five seasons, he played almost the whole time with the Regina Pats before finishing his final campaign last year with the Everett Silvertips. All said, Berge earned 100 points (18g-82ast) in 213 games. He is contracted with the Ontario Reign, the Swamp Rabbits’ AHL affiliate.
As a part of the All-Star selection, DASH – the Official Mobile Auction Platform of the ECHL – will auction off each player’s jersey. Fans can bid on Parker Berge’s jersey by CLICKING HERE, with the auction running until Wednesday, February 5th at 7 p.m. ET.
