Atlanta Gladiators News Release


Playoff March Notes:

If the playoffs were to begin today, the Gladiators would be the 7th seed in the American Conference. The top 8 teams in the conference qualify for the ECHL Kelly Cup Playoffs with the Division winners seeded 1 & 2. Pensacola is currently in 1st place in the South Division while Charlotte is currently in 1st place in the East Division.

Gwinnett & Columbia have played the fewest games so far this season – 53 – in the American Conference.

The Gladiators (.604) jump ahead of South Carolina (.589) and Greenville (.588) and into 5th place in the American Conference when ranked by winning percentage.

Gwinnett has 9 home games remaining including tomorrow night's game against Columbia. The Gladiators have won 5 straight home games and have not lost in regulation at home in their past 10 home games.

Pee Dee is the Gladiators' biggest threat of the teams currently out of a playoff position with 57 points. Gwinnett (53) has 3 more games left to play than the Pride (56) including this Saturday's game in Pee Dee.

Texas only has 2 points to give before they are mathematically eliminated from the playoff race. If Texas loses in regulation Tuesday night they will be eliminated from the playoffs.

The Gladiators picked up 3 out of a possible 4 points last weekend and continue to share 7th in the American Conference.

The Gladiators have a busy week with 4 games. They host Columbia on Tuesday, Louisiana on Friday, are at Pee Dee on Saturday and then host South Carolina on Sunday.

Pee Dee won back-to-back games last weekend picking up 4 out of 4 possible points and gaining a point on the Gladiators. Pee Dee is at Columbia on Tuesday and hosts Charlotte and Pensacola before the Gladiators visit the Florence Civic Center on Saturday.
