The Atlanta Thrashers served as Atlanta’s National Hockey League team for 11 seasons from 1999 to 2011. The Thrashers skated in what is now State Farm Arena downtown and reached the playoffs once in 2007. The team was sold to Canadian-based ownership group True North Sports & Entertainment in 2011 and moved to Manitoba to become the Winnipeg Jets.
The Gladiators will be giving away special Thrashers rally towels for fans to wave during the game. The team will also be selling specialty Thrashers merchandise including Thrashers T-shirts and pucks. Thrash, the Thrashers’ mascot, will also be in attendance.
