Atlanta Gladiators News Release


The Gwinnett Gladiators announced today that they have traded defenseman Troy Milam to the Reading Royals for financial considerations.

A rookie last season, Milam ranked first among Gladiators defensemen with 27 assists. He posted 6 goals, 2 on the man advantage, in 60 games last year for the Gladiators.

The 6-foot, 180-pound defenseman out of Lake Orion, Michigan was twice recalled to the Reading Royals American Hockey League affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs last season. In 7 games in the AHL, Milam recorded a goal and was a +2.

"Troy has a fantastic opportunity to advance to the next level in that organization," said Gladiators Head Coach Jeff Pyle.

In his rookie season last year, Milam was named to the Par-A-Dice ECHL All Star Game in Peoria, Illinois where he recorded a goal and an assist for the Western Conference All Stars.

The Central Division Champion Gwinnett Gladiators begin their second season on the road before hosting in-state rival Augusta on Friday, October 29th at 7:35 p.m. at home. In addition to having a ticket package for everyone, the Gladiators also offer group outings, suites and birthday parties.
