ECHL in Greensboro in 2025-26: Greensboro Gargoyles

[VaCaps Fan]

I'll be interested to see how the organization imagines the soft-and-cuddly version of the Gargoyle for the mascot costume.

Can’t wait for that job to open up…

Can’t wait for that job to open up…

Earning a living while in a hot & stinky full-body costume and being pursued and/or feared by screaming children could mark the pinnacle of your employment years. Think about it ...

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Yeah that could be ugly to children….

I miss the 1990s echl…

You'll love this video. Incident took place at the very same Greensboro Coliseum the Gargoyles will be playing in.

Everyone except Greensboro hated the Monarchs.

Richmond was nuts at the coliseum…

Great to hear. Zawyer runs their teams very well. This is good for the league and will help reduce travel for the rest of the South division.

This is quite simply not true. Zawyer has completely tanked the Gladiators in the ~3 seasons that they have been running the organization. I am also hearing similar things out of Allen. Zawyer running this many teams is starting to be concerning.

Yeah the gladiators seem to be running out the clock until nhl returns…

In the last two seasons, it has become glaringly obvious that the Gladiators have an end date unless significant changes are made. Ownership appears to be incompetent. Anson Carter very rarely is seen around the complex. He is trying to use this ownership experience to prove to the NHL that he is able to run a team. It is very clear to everyone involved, including the NHL, that AC connot run a team and will not be getting one. That NHL bid is dead, and I can see him moving away from the Gladiators at some point soon.

Zawyer has put the team on the backburner in favor of teams that they actually own in the same division. What incentive do they have to put focus on a team that directly competes with two, and soon to be three teams that they own outright? There is not one, and Zawyer will also be leaving Atlanta by the end of the season.
