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 the team has re-signed second-year forward Ryan O’Reilly for the 2026-27 season.

O’Reilly played the entirety of his first professional season with the Swamp Rabbits last year. The 26-year-old finished with 24 points (12g-12a), while playing in all 72 games. O’Reilly’s 12 goals were tied for fifth on the team, and his 24 points were fourth-most of all Swamp Rabbits rookies.

From Southlake, Texas, O’Reilly turned professional towards the end of the 2024-25 season with the Orlando Solar Bears, earning his first pro goal in six contests. His leap to the pro ranks came following five NCAA seasons with Arizona State University and Providence College, leading the latter to the 2025 NCAA Tournament. O’Reilly completed his college career with 64 points (32g-32a) in 153 games between the two schools.

Prior to college hockey, he played four United States Hockey League seasons with the Madison Capitols, Fargo Force and Green Bay Gamblers, finishing with 98 points in 152 games. In 2018, he garnered USHL All-Rookie Second Team recognition and was selected by the Detroit Red Wings in the fourth round (98th overall) of the NHL Entry Draft.
