DULUTH, Ga. – The Atlanta Gladiators announced that the team has signed forward Mike Turner for the 2021-22 season.

Turner set a new ECHL career high with 12 points (4g-12a) in 56 games last season with the Gladiators.

The Chicago, Illinois native spent two seasons away from hockey before returning to the ECHL with Atlanta in 2021. Previously, Turner skated with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits, Orlando Solar Bears, Wheeling Nailers and Rapid City Rush before parting with the sport in 2019. The 56 games he played with the Gladiators last season were the most that he has played with any one professional team.
