Garbutt Becomes a Gladiator

The Gwinnett Gladiators have agreed to terms with former forward Ryan Garbutt for the 2010-11 season.

Garbutt enters his first season in the ECHL this year after he played with Corpus Christi in the Central Hockey League last year. The Winnipeg, Manitoba, native earned 50 points (22 goals, 28 assists) in 64 games. He also appeared in one playoff game with Corpus Christi last year.

Prior to turning pro, the 6-foot-1, 190-pound forward played four seasons at Brown University and collected 58 points (29 goals, 29 assists) in 116 career collegiate games.

Garbutt also skated in the Atlanta Thrashers Prospect Development Camp from July 8th thru 13th at the Ice Forum in Duluth.
