Ottawa Senators Reach 1-Year Agreement With ECHL’s Atlanta Gladiators

Ottawa had previously lacked an ECHL affiliate since the conclusion of their 2019-20 campaign.

After a one-year hiatus, the Ottawa Senators once again have an ECHL affiliate, and one with a fitting name, too.

Ottawa had previously been affiliated with the Brampton Beast from 2017-18 to 2019-20.

Having a second affiliate team once again will guarantee that every one of the organization’s prospects under contract will see ample playing time.
