Nailers, Posters, and Bears... Oh My
December 1, 2011 - ECHL (ECHL)
Wheeling Nailers News Release
The Wheeling Nailers, AA affiliate for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Montreal Canadiens, return to WesBanco Arena for the first time in over two weeks on Saturday night, for a night that will be filled with fun and promotions.
To start the night, the first 2,000 fans through the gates will receive a team poster, courtesy of WesBanco Bank, the McClure Hotel, Generations Pub, and Panhandle Cleaning. The posters consist of individual pictures of the players on this year's team, making it a great keepsake for the 2011-12 season.
Taking it one step further, any collectable is better with autographs, and fans will be able to get their posters, as well as any other memorabilia signed by the team that night. Following the game, the Nailers will be holding a team autograph session in the Health Plan Pavilion, which is located on ice level, to the left of the main entrance.
Also, on Saturday night, the Nailers will be holding their annual Teddy Bear Toss Night. Fans are encouraged to bring a stuffed animal to the game (there will be some available for purchase at the arena), and when the Nailers score their first goal of the night, throw the stuffed animals onto the ice. After the game, the Nailers will donate the stuffed animals to local charities, so that children will be able to enjoy the holiday season.
Saturday night's game begins at 7:35, as the Wheeling Nailers will play host to the Trenton Titans. For tickets, call the Nailers at (304) 234-GOAL or online at shop.wheelingnailers.com. You can now order tickets on your smartphone. Log on to m.wheelingnailers.com.
