GREENVILLE, S.C. – The Greenville Swamp Rabbits, ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League’s Los Angeles Kings and American Hockey League’s Ontario Reign, announced that veteran forward Brent Pedersen has re-signed with the Swamp Rabbits for the 2025-26 season.

Pedersen comes back to the Swamp Rabbits following the conclusion of his seventh professional season, his first with the team. He served as an alternate captain last season and notched 30 points (14g-16a) in 56 games. Pedersen has earned 120 points (63g-57a) in 178 ECHL games.

Originally from Arthur, Ontario, Pedersen, 30, originally came to the Swamp Rabbits in a three-team trade with Savannah and Reading on Aug. 28, 2024. Throughout the previous seven years of his career, Pedersen has amassed 172 points (83g-89a) in 287 games spent in the ECHL with Greenville, Savannah, Toledo and Orlando, and in the AHL with Henderson, Colorado and Manitoba.

Prior to that, he spent four seasons in the Ontario Hockey League with the Kitchener Rangers and Oshawa Generals, picking up 112 points (58g-54a) in 268 games.
