Rimmer played one season in Italy before returning to North America and the ECHL, agreeing to a one-year deal with the Kansas City Mavericks on August 30, 2017.[4] Prior to the commencement of the 2017–18 season, Rimmer was traded before appearing with the Mavericks to fellow ECHL outfit, the Greenville Swamp Rabbits, on October 8, 2017.[5] Over the course of the season, Rimmer as the Swamp Rabbits starting goaltender appeared in 42 games.

As a free agent, Rimmer opted to return to the Alps Hockey League, agreeing to a one-year contract with Austrian based, EC Kitzbühel, on May 21, 2018.[6] Rimmer made 29 appearances in the Alps Hockey League before returning to North America and signing an ECHL contract with the Wichita Thunder, affiliate to former club, the Bakersfield Condors, on January 23, 2019.[7] Rimmer made 12 appearances with the Thunder before he was traded to the Cincinnati Cyclones on March 7, 2019.[8]
