The Greenville Swamp Rabbits are officially back. 🙌 Tonight is opening night at Bon Secours Wellness Arena + we want to make sure you’ve got everything you need to know for the #CoolestGameInTown.

This year, the team has a new coach, Andrew Lord, who comes to Greenville from the UK + a new assistant coach, Phillip Barski, from Poland. Earlier this year, the team was acquired by Spire Sports + Entertainment, and the Swamp Rabbits are proud affiliates of the NHL’s Florida Panthers + AHL’s Charlotte Checkers.
