ECHL: Atlanta Gladiators’ Roster Changes | 03/07/2024

The Atlanta Gladiators officially announced the recent signing of forward Seth Benson to an ECHL contract. Benson makes the transition to professional hockey following a successful collegiate tenure at Salve Regina University, where he accumulated 62 points (34 goals, 28 assists) in 79 games played. Notably, Benson and current Gladiator forward Mitch Walinski previously shared the ice during their time at the Seahawks during both the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons.

In a related team update, the organization has bid farewell to goaltender Brad Barone, acknowledging his valuable contributions to the team during the current season. Affectionately known as “Bones”, Barone swiftly endeared himself to the local fanbase, and his presence will surely be missed by both his teammates and fans alike.
