The Atlanta Gladiators are a professional minor league hockey team operating out of Duluth, Ga. During the earliest years of the organization, the Gladiators reached the ECHL Eastern Conference Semifinals in every one of its first three seasons. The squad has gone on to become the longest-tenured professional hockey team in the Atlanta area's history. In 2015, the Gwinnett Gladiators became the Atlanta Gladiators.

The team introduced a new design for its logo to reflect this change. The team has seen an uptick in attendance in recent years, further signaling this new era for the organization.
