Nailers Announce 2012-13 Season Schedule

May 30, 2012 - ECHL (ECHL)
Wheeling Nailers News Release


WHEELING, WV- The Wheeling Nailers, the proud member of the ECHL are excited to announce their schedule for the upcoming 2012-2013 regular season. The schedule consists of 72 games, with 36 games taking place at Wesbanco Arena, and the other 36 games taking place at 12 other venues throughout the Eastern Conference of the ECHL.

Divisional play will make up a significant portion of the 2012-2013 season, as the Nailers will face the Reading Royals, the Trenton Titans, the Elmira Jackals, and the Toledo Walleye (who will be a frequent opponent in the 2012-2013 season for the Nailers).

Along with divisional play, the Nailers will face three out of the four new ECHL franchises this season (the Evansville IceMen, the Fort Wayne Komets, and the Orlando Solar Bears). The Nailers will face the IceMen and the Komets both home and away this season but they will only face the Solar Bears at the Amway Center in Orlando. This will be the Nailers only trip to the Sunshine State this season.

Another unfamiliar face to the schedule this season is the Bakersfield Condors from Southern California. They will make their first ever trip to the Mountain State and second all-time meeting against the Nailers. The Nailers defeated the Condors 4-2 at Rabobank Arena on February 17th, 2005 in their first ever meeting. This game will also mark the first time the Nailers will face a team from the Western Conference since the 2005-2006 season.

The regular season will begin on October 13th when the Nailers make a quick trip to the Queen City to take on the Cincinnati Cyclones. The following weekend the Nailers will be on the road again at Elmira and Reading. The Nailers will return home to open their home season with the Reading Royals at Wesbanco Arena on October 26th.

During the season the Nailers will have two games at specially designated times in the 2012-2013 season. The Nailers will play their only morning game of the season against the Road Warriors of Greenville at 11:00 on December 19th. Also, the Nailers will be home again on New Year's Eve when they take on the Elmira Jackals at 5:00. All other home games will be at 7:00 Monday through Saturday and all Sunday games will now start at 2:00.
