DULUTH, Ga. The Atlanta Gladiators announced on Tuesday that forward Cody Sylvester has elected to play overseas, and as a result, has been suspended by the club in order to retain his ECHL playing rights. Sylvester's next team has not been disclosed.
Sylvester, 31, appeared in 167 games with Atlanta, adding 175 points (77G, 98A) across the last three seasons, leading the team in scoring during the past two, and, at the time of this announcement, was the club's leading point producer this season. Last year, Sylvester set the Atlanta Gladiators franchise record for goals scored in a single-season with 38.
The Gladiators organization would like to sincerely thank Cody for all his contributions to the Gladiators and the Atlanta community over the past three seasons, and wish him the best in his next chapter.
The Gladiators are BACK in action on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night, as they travel to Indianapolis to take on the Fuel. Catch all the action on Flo Hockey, and MixLR beginning at 6:50 for all games.
