GREENVILLE, S.C. —The Greenville Swamp Rabbits have brought in another reliable forward to the mix with the signing of forward Thomas Ebbing to a contract for the 2019–20 season. Ebbing played 55 games with Greenville last season after beginning the season in Fort Wayne.
The Swamp Rabbits are the ECHL affiliate of the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League and the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League.Ebbing, who entered the year with significant AHL experience, provided a steady offensive contribution, and a valuable utility role as a reliable option at even strength or on special teams. He joined the AHl's Laval Rocket on a PTO at the conclusion of the Swamp Rabbits' season.Overall, the looming third-year pro has 118 games of professional hockey experience between the AHL and ECHL.Ebbing developed as a set-up man and shot blocking machine in college at Michigan State University. With the Spartans, he led the Big Ten in shot blocks as a freshman with 45, finished with 49 blocks, the most in the conference as a sophomore, and his 59 as a junior were fourth in the entire NCAA.Ebbing spent one year in the United States Hockey League as a member of the Chicago Steel. His solid year earned him a trip to the USHL/NHL Top Prospects Game, and a ranking by NHL Central Scouting for the 2013 NHL Draft.
