Gladiators add Carabia

DULUTH, Ga. – The Atlanta Gladiators announced that the team has signed rookie defenseman Dylan Carabia for the 2022-23 season.

Carabia, 26, posted 39 points (8g-31a) with the Pensacola Ice Flyers in the Southern Professional Hockey League last season. Amongst SPHL defensemen, he ranked fourth in points, tied for third in assists, and tied for fifth in goals. Carabia's production landed him selections on the SPHL All-Rookie Team and the SPHL Second All-Star Team.

The Sebastian, Florida native spent four years at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island and played three seasons of NCAA Division III hockey (senior season in 2020-21 cancelled due to COVID). Through his three campaigns with the Seahawks, Carabia tabbed 16 points (3g-13a) in 71 games and was named team captain as a junior prior to the 2019-20 season.
