The South Carolina Stingrays have kicked off their preparations for the upcoming 2026-27 season by extending qualifying offers to eight players, a move that aims to secure the long-term futures of key contributors to the team's success. The qualifying offers, a standard procedure in professional hockey, give the Stingrays the opportunity to retain the rights to these players and potentially re-sign them to new contracts. Among the eight players receiving qualifying offers are several key performers from the 2025-26 season, including top scorers and defensive specialists. As the Stingrays look to build on their recent achievements, retaining these players will be crucial in maintaining their competitive edge in the ECHL.
