DULUTH, Ga. - The Gladiators (7-11-1-0) return home to The Arena at Gwinnett Center, 15 days after their last home game. Tonight, the Glads will host their annual Sing for Santa concert, a fan-favorite tradition where hundreds of local area schoolchildren will sing some of the holiday favorites during the first intermission. New to this year, parents and relatives can purchase a recording of their child's performance on The Arena's scoreboard with keepsake DVDs after the weekend.

The Gladiators finish up a three-game set against the North Division with their first matchup against the new-look Cincinnati Cyclones tonight. Just like last season, Gwinnett will play only one game against Cincinnati in the 2014-15 regular season.
