It was announced by the team on Thursday that Eric Neiley, Mike Pelech, and Cody Sylvester are the captains for the 2022-23 Atlanta Gladiators. All three will wear the alternate captain’s “A” this season. Head Coach Jeff Pyle has elected not to give out the captain’s “C”.
“I think we have the three guys on the team with experience that lead by example,” said Pyle of his 2022-23 captains. “They’re all relatively quiet guys that the rest of the room respect. It is a great balance for our locker room.”
The trio all wore an “A” on their sweaters at various points throughout the 2021-22 season for Atlanta.
Retired Gladiators legend Derek Nesbitt previously donned the captain’s “C” for five of Atlanta’s last six seasons dating back to the 2015-16 campaign. 2018-19 was the last season that Pyle did not award a “C” to any player, and thus Nesbitt served as an alternate captain.
The Gladiators meet the Orlando Solar Bears on Sunday, Oct. 30 at 3:00 PM at Amway Center for the club’s first road test.
