Hockey season is heating up, and the Atlanta Gladiators are ready to bring the thunder. On March 26, 2026, Gas South Arena transforms into the loudest barn in the Southeast as the Gladiators welcome the Orlando Solar Bears for a fierce ECHL showdown that no self-respecting Atlanta hockey fan can afford to miss. Rivalries, hard hits, blazing fast skating, and playoff implications — this is exactly the kind of night that reminds you why live hockey is the most electric experience in sports.

The Atlanta Gladiators: Gwinnett's Own Warriors on Ice

The Atlanta Gladiators have been the heartbeat of professional hockey in the greater Atlanta area for decades, giving fans in Gwinnett County and across the metro a team to rally behind with fierce pride. Year after year, the Gladiators deliver gritty, blue-collar hockey that resonates deeply with the Atlanta sports faithful. This team doesn't just play games — they battle. Whether they're grinding out a third-period lead or killing a penalty with the game on the line, the Gladiators play with an intensity that gets the Gas South Arena crowd on its feet and keeps them there.

The Orlando Solar Bears: A Rival Worth Hating

Don't let the sunshine state smile fool you. The Orlando Solar Bears are a legitimate ECHL competitor that always shows up ready to spoil Atlanta's night.
