GREENVILLE, S.C. – The Greenville Swamp Rabbits announced that veteran forward Garrett Thompson has re-signed with the team ahead of the 2021-22 season.

Entering his ninth professional season since signing an entry-level contract with the Ottawa Senators in 2014, Thompson returned to the Swamp Rabbits after a 42-point campaign in 2020-21.

“I’m very excited to return to Greenville,” said Thompson. “It was a really easy decision, and the city has a lot to offer. Both the team and organization have a competitive drive to be a contender, and I want to be a part of that.”

MORE ON THOMPSON

An experienced scorer, Thompson has built an impressive resume with 108 AHL appearances and 281 ECHL games. Thompson’s experience led him to a four-point postseason in last season run and will undoubtedly be relied on as Greenville eyes a return to the playoffs this season.

“Garrett is such a force for us on the ice through his size, physical play, and overall skill set,” said Swamp Rabbits Head Coach Andrew Lord. “He is a power forward who can play in all situations and can play all three forward positions. Thompson is a great person and teammate, and his leadership abilities are tremendous. He was another very important signing for us this off-season, and it’s great to get him confirmed this early.”

Greenville, SC – Greg Meireles scored twice, and Gordi Myer tallied his first professional goal to help Greenville to a 5-3 road win over the South Carolina Stingrays on Wednesday night.

The Stingrays responded at the 3:30 mark from Zach Malatesta’s fourth goal of the season. Malatesta corralled the puck and fired past Rabbits netminder John Lethemon.
Late in the second period, Swamp Rabbits defenseman Alec Rauhauser regained his club’s advantage at the 19:32 mark.

LAST TIME OUT

The Greenville Swamp Rabbits scored three times in the first period and downed the Jacksonville Icemen, 4-3, last Sunday at Bon Secours Wellness Arena. For special teams, it was a night to remember, Nick Poehling scored his fourth goal of the season on a shorthanded 2-on-1 rush at 4:10. Joey Haddad, Samuel Jardine, and Garrett Thompson scored on the power play to help their club to a 3-for-5 night on the man-advantage.

The South Carolina Stingrays were also 4-3 winners last Sunday over the Orlando Solar Bears at the North Charleston Coliseum. Andrew Cherniwchan, Justin Florek, Cole Ully, and Dan DeSalvo all scored for the Rays.

PURE POWER

Greenville’s three power play goals on Sunday tied a season-high for the third time this season. Previously, the Rabbits scored thrice on the man-advantage on Feb. 27 in a 6-4 win over Allen and Feb. 19 in a 4-3 victory at Indy. In their last three contests, Greenville’s man-advantage is 6-for-11 and scored on five consecutive power play chances between Saturday’s 2-for-2 performance and Sunday. In the season-series, the Rabbits are 7-for-38 (18.4%) while a man-up versus South Carolina.

THOMPSON’S WINNER

Bits veteran forward Garrett Thompson registered a key insurance marker at 13:20 of the third period, which later stood as the eventual game-winner on Sunday. Before Sunday’s game, Thompson’s last game-winner in the ECHL came on March 4, 2018, at Quad City.

The 31-year-old forward played overseas in 2018-19 and 2019-20 before rejoining the North American pro game this season. In 36 games with the Swamp Rabbits, Thompson has corralled 17 points (seven goals, ten assists). The Ferris State University product in total has recorded 265 points (103 goals, 162 assists) in 407 professional games.

A NEW HOME FOR STROME

On Tuesday, the Greenville Swamp Rabbits received forward Matthew Strome from the American Hockey League’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Strome is under an Entry-Level Contract with the Philadelphia Flyers after being selected in the 2017 NHL Draft. A Mississauga, Ontario native, Strome, joins the Upstate after appearing in three games with Lehigh Valley this season and scoring one goal.

In 2019-20, the 6-foot-4, 206-pound forward debuted in the ECHL and posted 20 points for Reading (nine goals, 11 assists) in 25 games. During his time with the Royals, Strome recorded an 11-game point streak and totaled 13 points (five goals, eight assists) from Feb. 1-Feb. 28, 2020. Before turning pro, Strome played four seasons with the OHL’s Hamilton Bulldogs and served as a captain in 2018-19. He helped the Bulldogs to the 2018 OHL Championship with 18 points (four goals, 14 assists) in 20 playoff games.

SEASON-SERIES RECAP

Tonight marks the ninth meeting between Greenville and South Carolina in the current season-series. The Rabbits hold a 5-1-0-2 mark versus their bitter in-state rival with six games requiring sudden-death overtime. Greenville is 4-0 against the Rays in 3-on-3 overtime but 0-2 when a shootout is needed.

The North Charleston Coliseum marks the scene where rookie goaltender John Lethemon made his professional debut and recorded his first pro win on Dec. 27, 2020. Lethemon stopped 30 of 32 shots and earned the victory with Ben Finkelstein’s overtime game-winner at 2:41 of sudden-death.

Greenville, SC – The Greenville Swamp Rabbits salvaged two out of three games on the weekend behind three power play goals to top the Jacksonville Icemen, 4-3, Sunday at Bon Secours Wellness Arena.

Greenville posted a crooked number in the first period behind a solid special team’s presence. Nick Poehling scored a shorthanded unassisted goal on a 2-on-1 rush at 4:10 to provide his club an early lead. The Rabbits went to their first power play chance at 9:01 after Craig Martin received a hooking infraction. On the man-advantage, Joey Haddad blasted a drive from the left circle at 10:07 to double his club’s lead.

Erik Bradford put Jacksonville on the board at 16:48, but only 29 seconds later, Greenville found an answer. After Bradford’s goal, Michael Kim was penalized for roughing to put the Rabbits on another power play. Once again, the Bits converted courtesy of Samuel Jardine’s second goal of the campaign at 17:17.

#RABBITSRISING#

Greenville’s 3-1 lead stood going into the third period when Abbott Girduckis brought the Icemen closer at 1:39. The Swamp Rabbits restored their two-goal advantage later in the frame by pushing across their third power play goal. Garrett Thompson won a race to a loose puck sitting in the blue paint and beat Icemen goaltender Charles Williams at 13:20.

Michael Kim scored his first goal of the season at 17:57 to again cut the Jacksonville deficit to one, but the Swamp Rabbits successfully closed out a 4-3 final on home ice.

Greenville finishes the weekend with four out of six points against the Icemen in a three-game set. Final shots totaled 27-24 in favor of Jacksonville. The Swamp Rabbits finished 3-for-5 on the power play and 5-for-5 on the kill in a solid special team’s performance.
