Greenville, SC—It’s another resigning day for the Swamp Rabbits, as the club announced that they have re-signed forward Josh McKechney. McKechney, 26, played 51 games for the Swamp Rabbits, along with five Kelly Cup Playoffs games; he tallied up 15 goals and 21 assists, plus two goals and two assists during the Kelly Cup Playoffs.
