Atlanta Gladiators

The Atlanta Gladiators are a professional minor league ice hockey team in the ECHL (South Division, Eastern Conference), serving as the AA affiliate for the NHL's Nashville Predators and AHL's Milwaukee Admirals. Based in Duluth, Georgia, at the Gas South Arena, they have played in the Atlanta area since 2003.

The Gladiators season runs October through April. They offer a mix of high-energy professional hockey and family-oriented entertainment, featuring traditions like the annual Teddy Bear Toss where fans are asked to bring new and used Teddy Bears and throw them on the ice after the Gladiators first goal.  Bears are then collected and given to various charities to be given to those in need. Beyond the game itself, they provide interactive fan experiences, specialized ticket packages, and community-driven events.
