The Savannah Ghost Pirates enter the 2026-27 ECHL season as a young franchise with an established place in the Florida Panthers' development structure. Savannah is affiliated with Florida and the AHL's Charlotte Checkers, creating a Florida Panthers → Charlotte Checkers → Savannah Ghost Pirates pathway for organizational movement.
The Ghost Pirates began play as an ECHL expansion franchise in 2022-23 and play at Enmarket Arena. They took an important step forward last season, going 35-33-3-1 with 74 points and earning a playoff berth.

Savannah Ghost Pirates 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 Panthers Fans Should Watch Savannah Ghost Pirates
The Florida Panthers → Charlotte Checkers → Savannah Ghost Pirates structure gives Florida another professional destination for organizational depth.
For Panthers fans, Charlotte-to-Savannah assignments are the central development storyline. NHL and AHL roster decisions can create movement through the system, making Ghost Pirates transactions worth monitoring throughout the season. No Panthers or Checkers prospect, however, should be considered Savannah-bound until an assignment is confirmed.
The Ghost Pirates' own development as a franchise gives fans another reason to follow. Savannah reached the playoffs in 2025-26 and now enters the new season trying to turn that progress into sustained success.
That challenge comes in a difficult South Division that includes defending Kelly Cup champion Florida, along with South Carolina and Atlanta. Savannah's attempt to build on its playoff season while navigating Florida and Charlotte player movement gives Panthers fans two storylines to track at once.
