OrthoAtlanta Serves as Official Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Provider to the Atlanta Gladiators
ATLANTA, April 20, 2018 (Newswire.com) - When the Atlanta Gladiators, formerly known as the Gwinnett Gladiators, relocated from Mobile, AL in 2002, OrthoAtlanta orthopedic and sports medicine specialists stepped onto the ice to extend a neighborly hello. Fifteen years later, both organizations are proud to say that the partnership continues to be a success!
The Atlanta Gladiators professional hockey team is celebrating its 15th Anniversary Season in 2017-2018. The team concluded regular season play in early April by advancing into the South Division 2018 Kelly Cup Playoffs, their first post-season appearance since the 2012-13 season. The best-of-seven playoff started April 16 vs. the Florida Everblades. The 2017-18 season marked the 15th year of Gladiators hockey, today played in Duluth, GA at the Infinite Energy Center. The Gladiator organization has built a strong reputation as a long-standing and successful member club in the ECHL, the nation’s premier "AA" hockey league.
OrthoAtlanta is proud to serve the Atlanta Gladiators for 15 years. We've greatly enjoyed participating in the growth of the Gladiators organization, and look forward to continuing this partnership for many years to come.
