Atlanta Gladiators News Release


The Gwinnett Gladiators announced today that forward Tom Zanoski has been released from his professional tryout with the American Hockey League's Lake Erie Monsters and will return to the Gladiators lineup. The Brampton, Ontario native was called up on January 22 and appeared in nine games with the Monsters, tallying two goals and three assists for five points and seven penalty minutes.

It was Zanoski's third trip to the AHL this season, as he previously appeared in eight games with the Binghamton Senators and two with the Albany River Rats. In all, Zanoski has appeared in 19 AHL games this season, notching a total of six points and 15 penalty minutes.

In 26 games with the Gladiators, the 5-foot-11 185-pound forward has recorded 18 goals and 16 assists for 34 points and remains the team's second-leading goal-scorer, just one behind rookie Pat Galivan, who is currently with the AHL's Chicago Wolves.

In other transactions, defenseman Roman Marakhovski has been released after appearing in seven games with the Gladiators. The 12th-year pro from Kharkov, Ukraine had spent time in the CHL, ECHL, SPHL, and overseas in France before joining the Gladiators earlier this month. He originally made his pro debut with the Columbus Cottonmouths of the CHL in 1998.

The Gladiators continue their 7th season in the ECHL on Friday, February 19th @ South Carolina at 7:05 p.m. The Gladiators are the AA affiliate of the Atlanta Thrashers and Columbus Blue Jackets and play all home games at the 11,355-seat Arena at Gwinnett Center, located just off I-85 on Sugarloaf Parkway in Duluth.
