Even in moments like this, we can’t help but reflect on everything we have to be thankful for — and at the top of that list is you.
For over 30 years, this team has called Wheeling home. As one of the oldest standing franchises in the ECHL, we’ve had the privilege of creating memories and sharing this game with generations of fans in Wheeling. None of that happens without you.
This season reminded us of something special. It reminded us that hockey isn’t just alive in Wheeling, West Virginia — it’s thriving because of you. We saw it in every moment you stood behind us.
We’re also incredibly proud to say that the 2026 playoffs featured some of the highest-attended playoff games in our recent team history. That’s because of you. You showed up and you brought the energy.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for believing in this team, this city, and this organization.
The 2026 - 2027 is just around the corner and we can't wait to see you there. We are incredibly proud to represent Wheeling because in reality it’s always... #ForTheWheel
"If the goalie could wear a 'C,' he would share it ... He's our best player."
With the Nailers eliminated, AHL-bound Taylor Gauthier leaves behind a legacy in Wheeling as the winningest goalie in team history and much more.

@Deej_HockeyPXP It has been a really nice surprise hearing Connor on the commentary tonight. We miss him on the ice! Can’t wait to see the boys back at the banco! Let’s go Nailers!
@Deej_HockeyPXP The crew wants to wish Audrey a happy late birthday and congratulations to Kylie and William on their engagement! We miss you all at the arena but we’re cheering in Sandusky. LETS GO NAILERS!
@Deej_HockeyPXP Thank you for keeping us updated as everything was happening with Works. We’re all incredibly worried and appreciate it. Sending all the love to Works and his family. 🙏🏻
🚨 The Maple Leafs can OFFICIALLY CLINCH the Atlantic Division today if either of these happen:
🔹 TBL loses in regulation + TOR gets 1+ point.
🔹 TBL loses in OVERTIME or SO + TOR wins in any fashion.
It would be their first division title since 1999–2000 (excluding the 2020–21 North Division).
