All-Star May re-signs with Greenville

GREENVILLE, S.C. — The Greenville Swamp Rabbits have agreed to terms with forward Johno May to return for the 2019–20 season with the signing of a Standard Player Contract. May, 25, has spent his entire professional career with Greenville, and has hit some key milestones along the way.

Last season, May saw his pro career blossom. In an injury-shortened season, the Minnesotan posted 20 goals and 22 assists in 51 games. That production saw him earn an appearance in the 2019 ECHL All-Star Classic in Toledo.

May's production also saw him get his first AHL call-up to the San Diego Gulls, and he saw action in his first AHL game on January 4 against the San Jose Barracuda. He received an invite to the Cleveland Monsters' AHL camp during the preseason.

His 42 points ranked third on the team, his 20 goals were second-most, and his 22 assists third-most this past season.

A dynamite freshman season at American International College set the stage for his viability as a pro. He scored 30 points, eighth-best for any player in school history, and 23 assists, which was second-most in a single season. Following the conclusion of his senior season, he signed on with the Swamp Rabbits on March 20, 2018.

Just three days later, he would score his first pro goal against the Jacksonville Icemen, on home ice. In total, he scored 6 points in 8 games in his first taste of pro action.
