Prior to joining the Railers, Cipollone played five seasons of NCAA Division I college hockey from 2018-2023, spending the first two seasons at the University of Vermont and the final three at Quinnipiac University. He scored 19 goals and 19 assists for 38 points in 107 career games at Quinnipiac, helping the Bobcats win the National Championship in 2023.
"Joey came in and did a great job for us last season," said Gladiators Director of Hockey Operations and Head Coach, Matt Ginn. "He contributed in all situations and was a very well liked and respected teammate in the room. He won a championship at Quinnipiac and knows what it takes to win. We're excited to bring Joey back and expect him to take another step for us."
