The Atlanta Gladiators announced today the re-signing of 24-year-old defenseman from Squamish, British Columbia Josh Thrower and 27-year-old forward from Boston Nick Bligh for the 2020-2021 ECHL season.

Gladiators head coach Jeff Pyle described Thrower as a “hard-nosed defensive player that came a long way. He was performing very confidently at the end of last season.”

“Both Josh and Nick bring a different skillset to our team, but each is important to our future,” said Gladiators team president Jerry James. “We are excited to see how Josh can continue to grow into his role. A healthy Nick Bligh will be an offensive weapon for a roster already filled with scoring talent.”
