Glads Sent Two to Thunder to Finish Graves Trade

By Yakiri Thomas / June 14, 2022

The Atlanta Gladiators announced on Monday that forward Peter Bates and defenseman Greg Campbell have been traded to the Wichita Thunder to fulfill the remaining future considerations of a trade that brought defenseman Jacob Graves to Atlanta.

“We all appreciated the hard play and commitment that Peter and Greg exhibited while they were in Atlanta,” said Team President Jerry James. “I wish them luck in Wichita.”

Billy Constantinou was also sent from Atlanta to Wichita in exchange for Graves on Mar. 31 at the inception of the deal.

“We lost two good Gladiators, but that is part of the business,” said Head Coach Jeff Pyle. “At the time, we needed a defenseman based on how beat up we were. It’s a trade I would make 100 times out of 100. I wish them both the best.”

The deadline for all future considerations closed at 3:00 PM ET on Monday, June 13.
