The NHL's Atlanta Thrashers relocated to become the Winnipeg Jets in 2011. But next month they'll hit the ice again in Georgia thanks to the ECHL's Atlanta Gladiators -- for one night only.
The Gladiators, a minor league affiliate of the Arizona Coyotes, will take on "the persona of the Thrashers" when they face the Greenville Swamp Rabbits on Dec. 16 in Duluth.
The Gladiators will wear limited-edition Thrashers jerseys that will be auctioned off to fans after the game. Thrashers rally towels will be given to every fan in attendance. They'll also have Thrashers T-shirts and pucks for sale.
