Rebranding can be a good thing for the long run. Following the
name and ownership change from the Great Falls Rangers, and the
controversy surrounding the team and the Montana Panthers with Greg
Marlar at the center, The Gladiator franchise was off to a sputtering
start in 2000 and remained a work in progress throughout its time in the
NAFL.
Leaving the NAFL and joining the RMFL, the Gladiator franchise began a
steady upward climb with a core value system in place that only the
strongest can stick to. But by 2010, the Gladiators were undefeated
and AA Champions of the RMFL.
