- Goaltender Mitchell Gibson has been re-assigned by Washington from Hershey to South Carolina
- Defensemen Jayden Lee and Jon McDonald have been loaned from Hershey to South Carolina

He helped the Stingrays defeat the Orlando Solar Bears on opening night this season and had a 22-14-3 record in South Carolina last season.
Lee, 23, is in his first season of professional hockey. The North Vancouver, BC native has tallied two assists in four games for the Stingrays. He played NCAA Division I hockey at Quinnipiac University from 2019-2024. In 172 career collegiate games, Lee tallied 73 points (16 goals, 57 assists)
