The Greensboro Gargoyles enter the 2026-27 ECHL season with a chance to take a significant step forward in Year 2. Greensboro debuted as an expansion franchise in 2025-26 and is affiliated with the Carolina Hurricanes and their AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves.
The inaugural season brought predictable challenges. Greensboro finished 19-46-6-1 with 45 points and missed the playoffs. Head coach Mitch Giguere now gets another season to build the program alongside assistant coach CJ D'Alimonte.

For Hurricanes fans, Greensboro offers more than a young team trying to improve. The North Carolina connection makes the Gargoyles a natural ECHL affiliate to follow as Carolina's organizational assignments and transactions take shape throughout the season.
How To Watch Greensboro Gargoyles In 2026-27
Greensboro Gargoyles games can be watched live and on demand on FloHockey throughout the 2026-27 season. FloHockey is the leaguewide video platform for ECHL regular-season and postseason games.
Why Hurricanes Fans Should Watch Greensboro Gargoyles
The Carolina Hurricanes → Chicago Wolves → Greensboro Gargoyles structure gives Hurricanes fans an in-state ECHL connection. The relationship dates to Greensboro's inaugural season, and the research identifies it as the league's most geographically intuitive Carolina development story.
That makes assignments following NHL and AHL camps worth monitoring. Which organizational players ultimately reach Greensboro will depend on roster decisions, but the Gargoyles provide Carolina with another professional development destination.
Fans also can watch the development of Greensboro itself. Forwards Eric Martin, Tyler Cristall and Shane Ott and defensemen Braden Doyle and Artyom Borshyov are among the players currently listed on the Gargoyles' roster page.
After winning 19 games in Year 1, improvement is one of Greensboro's central 2026-27 storylines. The season provides Giguere another opportunity to establish a stable professional core while Hurricanes and Wolves assignments add another variable to the roster.
For Carolina fans, that combination makes Greensboro an ECHL team worth following from the beginning of its second season.
