BY: Jordan Kuhn, Greenville Swamp Rabbits GREENVILLE, S.C. — The Greenville Swamp Rabbits have agreed to terms with Quinnipiac University captain Nick Jermain on a Standard Player Contract for the 2020–21 season. Jermain, 24, enters his first professional season on a high note. As captain of the Bobcats, Jermain finished tied for fourth on the team in points (21), and led the way to a 21-11-2 overall record, and a 14-6-2 record in ECAC play, good for third place. Across four seasons and 123 games at QU, Jermain scored 26 goals and 25 assists. "I was really excited to sign my first professional contract. My conversation with Coach Lord made me feel that it would be the best opportunity for me and my future," Jermain said. "It's just a bonus that Greenville is a great city. I can tell they have great fans and a great organization." The native of Cos Cob, Connecticut was a reliable player on the ice, with a +3 career rating and eight career game-winning goals, and he was also a standout off the ice. He finished his collegiate career as a three-time ECAC Hockey All-Academic selection, and the co-recipient of the Coaches' Award at the conclusion of his senior season, in recognition of his contributions on ice and as a team leader. "Nick is an exciting signing for us, ticking a number of boxes overall. First off, Nick's character is off the charts, with great reports from everyone we spoke to, including his coaching staff at Quinnipiac," said head coach Andrew Lord. Read the full article
