==History==
===Birth of the Gladiators===
The franchise originated as the [[Mobile Mysticks]] who played in [[Mobile, Alabama]], from 1995 to 2002. It suspended operations in 2002 due to declining attendance. After a year off, Toby Jeffreys, the owner of the Mysticks, relocated his franchise to [[Gwinnett County, Georgia]], in [[2003–04 ECHL season|2003]] and was rebranded the Gwinnett Gladiators. He then sold minority stakes of the franchise to local business owners to create Gwinnett County Hockey, LLC.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/local-businessmen-join-gladiators-ownership-group/n-1994680 |title=Local Businessmen Join Gladiators Ownership Group |website=OurSportsCentral.com |date=May 16, 2003}}</ref> [[Jeff Pyle (ice hockey)|Jeff Pyle]]&mdash;who served as the Mysticks' head coach starting in 1998&mdash;returned to the franchise for their first season.
