The Gwinnett Gladiators announced today that they have signed forward Brandon Kaleniecki and traded him to the Las Vegas Wranglers for financial consideration.

The Livonia, Massachusetts, native missed 46 games last season for the Gladiators after suffering an injury on December 1st in the Gladiators 2-1 loss at Dayton.

Prior to turning pro last season, Kaleniecki posted 64 goals and 36 assists for 100 points in 159 career collegiate games at the University of Michigan.

Opening Day in the ECHL for the 20th Anniversary Season will be Oct. 18 when the Johnstown Chiefs host the Wheeling Nailers at Cambria County War Memorial in a rematch of Game 7 from the first-ever ECHL Finals.

Celebrating its 20th Anniversary as the Premier 'AA' Hockey League in 2007-08, the ECHL began in 1988-89 with five teams in three states and has grown to be a coast-to-coast league that will have 25 teams in 17 states and British Columbia in 2007-08. The 25 teams includes the Mississippi (Biloxi) Sea Wolves, who return after missing two seasons in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and the expansion Elmira (N.Y.) Jackals.

The ECHL will play 900 games beginning Oct. 18 and concluding Apr. 5. The conference and division alignments and the format for the 2008 Kelly Cup Playoffs will be determined and approved at a later date by the ECHL Board of Governors.
