On ice picture, goalie stopping the puck, can't read his name. His jersey number is 50. From the opposing team (Wichita Thunder), we see Mark Liwinski (how we know it is from the 2022-2023 season). Some other players not easily identifiable. What is that team with those weird zebra jerseys?

On the homepage of the #Greensboro #Gargoyles, there is a link to Season Tickets. the image for that is a bit strange, they chose a picture from a 2022 game between the #Wichita #Thunder, and i'm guessing the other team is wearing a specialty zebra jersey, don't recognise. #Komets, perhaps? #echl
