GREENVILLE, SC – The Greenville Swamp Rabbits announced that veteran forward Garrett Thompson has re-signed with the team ahead of the 2021-22 season.
Entering his ninth professional season since signing an entry-level contract with the Ottawa Senators in 2014, Thompson returns to the Swamp Rabbits after a 42-point campaign in 2020-21.
“I’m very excited to return to Greenville,” Thompson said. “It was a really easy decision, and the city has a lot to offer. Both the team and organization have a competitive drive to be a contender, and I want to be a part of that.”
An experienced scorer, Thompson has built an impressive resume with 108 AHL appearances and 281 ECHL games. Thompson’s experience led him to a four-point postseason in last season run and will undoubtedly be relied on as Greenville eyes a return to the playoffs this season.
“Garrett is such a force for us on the ice through his size, physical play and overall skill set,” Swamp Rabbits Head Coach Andrew Lord said. “He is a power forward who can play in all situations and can play all three forward positions. Thompson is a great person and teammate, and his leadership abilities are tremendous. He was another very important signing for us this off season, and it’s great to get him confirmed this early.”
