Many thought that the Bruins would try to put an ECHL franchise in Worcester but they have elected to send prospects to Duluth, Georgia an Atlanta suburb.
Gladiators Head Coach and General Manager of Hockey Operations Andy Brandt announced today that the Gladiators have signed a two-year affiliation agreement with the Boston Bruins of the NHL.
"We are very excited to be affiliated with the Boston organization and look forward to working under their umbrella," said Brandt. "To be able to align ourselves with such a historical and successful team, not to mention a member of ’The Original Six’, is something we are very proud of and take very seriously."
