The Gwinnett Gladiators announced today that Oak Park, Illinois native Patrick Galivan has been recalled by the team's American Hockey League affiliate Chicago Wolves. This marks his second trip to the AHL this season, after he was recalled January 9th and appeared in Chicago's 3-1 victory over Peoria on the same night, registering an assist and a +1 plus-minus rating while firing four shots on goal.

In 38 games with the Gladiators this season, the 23-year-old forward has 35 points on 19 goals and 16 assists to lead all Gladiator rookies and is currently 6th among all league rookies.

He also registered 80 points (37G, 43A) in two junior seasons with the Texarkana Bandits of the NAHL from 2003-2005.
