It is opening week for the Atlanta Gladiators, and the week is filled with training camp, final roster announcements, and of course, Bluey and Bingo.
The Gladiators ended last week with their first week of training camp and an intrasquad scrimmage, giving fans an early look at the 2025 roster hopefuls.

As of the start of training camp on October 4, Joey Cipollone, Ryan Conroy, Louis Boudon, Brendan Less, and Isak Walther were in Milwaukee attending the training camp of the Gladiators’ AHL affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals. Shawn Kennedy, Amedeo Mastrangeli, Luke Lush, and Logan Stein are with Atlanta attending camp on tryout agreements.
New head coach Matt Ginn and his staff had the opportunity to evaluate both veteran leaders and new faces, including newly named team captain Cody Sylvester and first year forward Isak Walther. Sylvester, who has been with the team since 2021 and served as an alternate captain for the past three seasons, spoke with KB Sports Media about the team’s outlook heading into the season.
“We have a strong team with a lot of speed, so I think it is going to be quite a bit better from last year,” Sylvester said. “Everyone has to work hard, not just the young guys, but the veterans too.”
Walther was selected by the Nashville Predators in the sixth round, 179th overall, in the 2019 NHL Draft. The 23 year old joins the Gladiators after four seasons at the University of Vermont, where he recorded 56 points with 23 goals and 33 assists in 128 career games.
Final roster announcements are expected this week, with the last day of training camp scheduled for Friday, October 17. The Gladiators will open the 2025 season on Saturday, October 18 at Gas South Arena against the Utah Grizzlies. Puck drop is set for 7:10 PM EST.
The excitement continues on Sunday, October 19 with a back-to-back against the Utah Grizzlies for Bluey Night. Fans can purchase a special meet and greet package to meet Bluey and Bingo on the concourse and take pictures.
