The Greenville Grrrowl was an ECHL hockey team located in Greenville, South Carolina. They played their home games at the BI-LO Center. In the 2001–02 season, they won the Kelly Cup.

The Grrrowl's initial season was 1998–99, with former Chicago Blackhawks defensive star John Marks as their coach. He remained their only coach from 1998 to 2006. They were an affiliate of the AHL Norfolk Admirals, and an affiliate of the NHL Chicago Blackhawks and the Edmonton Oilers. They began losing money after attendance slid from 7,000 per game in their first season to just 2,100 in 2004-05. Despite the offer, the Grrrowl ceased operations on July 10, 2006 when the team failed to find new sources of financing.
