Former NHLer and current TNT analyst Anson Carter is trying his hand at pro hockey team ownership. The Atlanta Gladiators, the Arizona Coyotes’ ECHL affiliate, announced a transfer of the controlling interest in the team’s ownership Tuesday. The league’s board of governors approved the ownership change from Danor Vienna, LLC to ATL Hockey Group, LLC. Alex Campbell will be the majority owner while Carter becomes the minority owner.

“I am excited to be a part of professional hockey here in my adopted hometown,” Carter told NHL.com’s William Douglas. “I’ll be actively involved to ensure that Gladiators hockey is widely accepted not only here in Atlanta, but becomes a brand known internationally in the hockey world.”
