GREENVILLE, S.C. - The 2010-2011 season schedule has been announced and Greenville's new ECHL team will get things started on the road on Friday, October 15, 2010 in North Charleston, South Carolina, against the South Carolina Stingrays. The team's home opener is set for October 21, 2010 against the Florida Everblades at the BI-LO Center.

Greenville will face South Division foes Gwinnett and South Carolina a total of 17 times each, and play 15 games against the Florida Everblades. Upstate fans will get to see Wheeling, Kalamazoo, Trenton, Elmira, Reading, and the 2010 Kelly Cup Champions Cincinnati Cyclones at the BI-LO Center. In addition to South Division opponents, the Greenville club will travel to the above cities with the exception of Elmira, and will also face-off in Toledo against the Walleye, coached by former Greenville Grrrowl goaltender Nick Vitucci.

"Bringing this new ECHL team to Greenville was the easy part," said owner Neil Smith. "There's tough competition in the league, but with rallying community support, I'm confident we'll have a great inaugural season."
