GREENVILLE, S.C. – Swamp Rabbits blueliner Samuel Jardine has been named to the All-ECHL First Team for the 2020-21 season. The announcement was made by the ECHL on Thursday afternoon.
The All-ECHL First and Second Teams is determined in a vote of ECHL coaches, broadcasters, media relations directors and media. All voting participants selected a goaltender, two defensemen and three forwards.
