SWAMP RABBITS ANNOUNCE 2024-25 ECHL SEASON SCHEDULE

GREENVILLE, S.C. – The Greenville Swamp Rabbits, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings, announced the team’s schedule for the 2024-25 ECHL Season, presented by Bon Secours.

A schedule detailing promotions and specialty jerseys will be revealed at a later date.

Below are notes and numbers about the Swamp Rabbits 2024-25 schedule:

• The Swamp Rabbits begin the season defending home ice against the Orlando Solar Bears on October 18^th. The opening night showdown is a rematch of the 2024 Kelly Cup Playoffs, and the first time the Swamp Rabbits open the season against the Solar Bears since the 2015-16 Season in Orlando.
• The longest homestand of the season is four, coincidentally happening four times throughout the season. On the flip side, the longest road trip of the year is seven games, played in 2025 from January 29^th to February 13^th, and takes the team to Cincinnati, Indy, Florida, and Atlanta.
• For the first time since November 2018, the Swamp Rabbits will host a “School Day Game” against the Savannah Ghost Pirates on Wednesday, November 13^th. Puck drop for this special game is set for 10:30am. Following a roaring success last year, the Swamp Rabbits will once again play at home on New Year’s Eve with a 6:00pm puck drop against the Norfolk Admirals
• November features the most games in a month for the Swamp Rabbits with a season-high 14, evenly split with seven games at Bon Secours Wellness Arena and away from Greenville. The Swamp Rabbits will play the most home games at “The Well” in December, playing in eight out of a dozen games on the slate.
• The schedule features nine “three-in-three” series, three less than 2023-24.
• Of the team’s 36 home games, 30 of them are played on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (10 each). The Swamp Rabbits play three games on Wednesdays and one each on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
• Out of 72 regular season games, 61 of them are played in the South Division with 28 at home and 33 on the road. Of the remaining 11, five are played in the Central Division, and three each are played in the North and Mountain Divisions.
• The schedule features 12 different teams and is the seventh consecutive season the Swamp Rabbits play at least one team from each division.
  • The Norfolk Admirals and Cincinnati Cyclones are the only non-divisional teams making appearances on the schedule for back-to-back seasons. Both teams play Greenville once each, with Norfolk coming to Greenville again.
  • The Swamp Rabbits play the Kansas City Mavericks for the third time ever, and the first time since the 2018-19 ECHL Season. This is the first time both teams will play each other in a series and not just one game. Every meeting between both squads has been played at Bon Secours Wellness Arena, a trend that perpetuates with this season’s three meetings in March.
  • The Reading Royals make the Swamp Rabbits schedule for the first time since the 2016-17 campaign. Also making a return following a hiatus dating to the 2020-21 Season are the Wheeling Nailers. The Indy Fuel also make a return to the Swamp Rabbits schedule, reprising their first round matchup in the 2021 Kelly Cup Playoffs. All three teams play the Swamp Rabbits twice: Reading and Wheeling at home, and Indy on the road. 

The following is a breakdown of opponents, listed from most frequent to least frequent:

• Atlanta Gladiators (13, 6 Home/7 Away)
