The Florida Panthers have named Greenville, South Carolina as their ne East Coast Hockey League affiliate. It is a multi-year agreement with the minor league club known as the Swamp Rabbits. The ECHL 2020-21 season is expected to begin on December 11.
The last time the Panthers organization was the main client of an ECHL affiliate was 2015 with the Cincinnati Cyclones. Florida has been the secondary team that allowed their players to participate with an ECHL squad.
It will be the first season for the Panthers to be based in Greenville. Florida placed their new AHL affiliate in Charlotte on September 10. Greenville and Charlotte were both minor league affiliates of the Carolina Hurricanes last season.
