(GREENVILLE, S.C.) – The Greenville Swamp Rabbits, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings, announced today via a Swamp Rabbit Moving Transaction that all-star defenseman Parker Berge has been recalled by the team’s AHL affiliate, the Ontario Reign.
Berge earns his first call-up of his career. The 6’0”, 180-pound blue-liner is the Swamp Rabbits leading scoring defenseman, notching six goals and 35 points in 49 games, along with a team-leading +10 rating. He made his professional debut on opening night against Orlando on October 18th, registering a two assist game. He was named to the ECHL’s Eastern Conference Midseason All-Star Team back in January.
From Edmonton, Alberta, Berge turned professional following a five-year career in the major-junior ranks with the WHL’s Regina Pats and Everett Silvertips, earning 100 points (18g-82ast) in 213 games. He signed with the Reign this offseason as an undrafted free agent.
The Swamp Rabbits now take to the road for another seven-game stretch, beginning with the Orlando Solar Bears on Friday, February 28th. Puck drop at the Kia Center is slated for 7:05 p.m. EST.
