Professional Career

Janicke made his professional debut during the 2024-25 season, splitting time between the Calgary Wranglers and the Rapid City Rush. While he appeared in 15 AHL games with Calgary, he found success in the ECHL, recording 25 points (11G, 14A) in 30 games with Rapid City. During that season, he also played under current Greenville Head Coach and General Manager Chad Costello, who served as Rapid City’s interim head coach.

He spent all of last season with the Fort Wayne Komets, setting career highs with 64 games, 17 assists, and 28 points while matching the 11 goals he scored during his rookie campaign. By the end of the season, Janicke had established himself as a reliable contributor with back-to-back double-digit goal seasons.
