Ammirato signs with Swamp Rabbits

Monday, July 29th

GREENVILLE, S.C. — The Greenville Swamp Rabbits announced signing of forward Roman Ammirato to a contract for the 2019–20 season. The New Jersey native was acquired by Greenville as future considerations in the trade that sent Alex Globke to the Tulsa Oilers.

The Swamp Rabbits are the ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League's Carolina Hurricanes and the American Hockey League's Charlotte Checkers.

A solid first complete pro season, and an outstanding beginning to his pro career out of college in Tulsa, has Ammirato growing into a blossoming asset for the Swamp Rabbits. After departing Utica College in his senior season, he scored 11 points in 12 games to close out the season, and last season, put up 32 points in 54 games.

Ammirato also suited up for 10 playoff games during the Oilers' run to the Western Conference Finals against the Toledo Walleye. He posted a goal and two assists during the deep playoff journey.

He spent a large majority of his junior hockey career in the Central Canada Hockey League where he was over a point-per-game average, and over a 0.50 goals-per-game average with the Cornwall Colts and the Hawkesbury Hawks.

Ammirato spent two seasons at Union College before the transfer to Utica. There, after a superb senior season, he won a conference championship, was named to the All-Tournament Team, was a First Team All-Conference selection, and the UCHC Player of the Year.
