The Gwinnett Gladiators are a minor league ice hockey team playing at the Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Georgia, United States. The team was originally the Mobile Mysticks who played in Mobile, Alabama from 1995 to 2002 and moved to Gwinnett County in 2003. The Gladiators are affiliated with the Atlanta Thrashers and the Columbus Blue Jackets of the NHL as well as the Chicago Wolves and the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL.
