Duluth, Ga. — The Atlanta Gladiators, ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League’s Nashville Predators and the American Hockey League’s Milwaukee Admirals, announced that the team has agreed to terms with defenseman Stephen Calisti for the 2026-27 season.
Calisti signs in Atlanta after spending the 2025-26 season at Brock University, where he scored 18 points (6g-12a) in 28 games. His 18 points led all team defensemen and were the second most among the team’s skaters. Calisti also set new collegiate career highs in goals and points in his fifth season of eligibility.
The 27-year-old defenseman returns to the ECHL for the first time since the 2024-25 season, having spent time with the Adirondack Thunder and Toledo Walleye. That same season, Calisti appeared in two games with the Elite Ice Hockey League’s Guildford Flames.
A native of Etobicoke, Ontario, Calisti attended Ontario Tech University from 2020-24 and amassed 34 points (9g-25a) in 65 games over the span of three seasons with the Ridgebacks. Prior to his commitment to Ontario Tech University, he spent two seasons in the Ontario Junior Hockey League with the Toronto Jr. Canadiens, scoring 83 points (16g-67a) in 107 games.
