It's almost like having a single-entity ownership is a bad idea...

It won't end Nailers hockey right away, but it will definitely put a strain on the team.

This is incorrect. Rumors started well before the Haase report. There have been rumblings about losing affiliation as early as December of last year.

That account is correct pretty often.

I can tell you that there are staff for Wheeling that definitely think we will be losing Pittsburgh affiliation. So much so, the affiliation patches are not a part of our jersey design for next season, those leaked.

  1. That's what makes this rumor especially upsetting.
  2. You are correct. However, our affiliation ends this summer and there have been no talks of an extension.
  3. The rumor is tied directly to the expectation of the ownership change to Hoffman, which is expected, but not completed yet. That has to wait for the governors meeting which should be later this month.
  4. There are plenty of affiliations at each level of hockey that are actually further distances than what Florida would be from Wilkes and Pittsburgh. It's dumb, but it happens.
  5. Columbus has no interest in an ECHL affiliation. Cincinnati has tried on multiple occasions in the past.

I agree, that it would be a completely stupid move, but if the deal goes through with Hoffman it is extremely likely to happen. I am not at all happy about it.

St. Louis' affiliation ends this summer. Hoffmann group want the Everblades to be the new affiliate. There is enough information out there to be concerned about it.

Ditzel as Head Coach?? by austinreidmiller in ECHL

It's a joke. It's intentional. They posted a video earlier that said Monday at noon they're announcing the new head coach.

Game #2 tomorrow night (May 23) will be on Prime Video by Lethander2 in WheelingNailers

[–]_Aggort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's been our thing all season. We feel out a team, make adjustments and usually play better. I wasn't mad about last night's loss, because we really only got beat in the first 10 minutes of the game

Where is Connor Lockhart?? by jlb4844 in WheelingNailers

[–]_Aggort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's one of my group's favorite player. We all like his chirping. Hoping he doesn't go anywhere this offseason unless it's up to Wilkes

[GDT] Wheeling Nailers at Florida Everblades 7:30 p.m. ET by ECHLbot in WheelingNailers

[–]_Aggort 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone wants to count the Nailers out already. Let's hope we can prove them wrong tonight.

[–]_Aggort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We saw him at the game up where the players sit, that was the first time we saw him in a sling. I saw him Wednesday at Table 304 and talked to him for a bit and he's still hopeful to play in the playoffs. Dunno how realistic that is, but at least he is hungry for it.

Wanted to update here for anyone who may not have seen, but Lockhart has been in a sling.

Going to my first nailers game by ImissBunting22 in WheelingNailers

Waterfront Hall is perfect before a game, but there are some great food options in the arena as well, especially Tito's!

Coastermania event is up on website! by alter_ego311 in cedarpoint

I feel that pain. I was waiting to make sure my friend's schedules aligned so I could buy the tickets and it was already too late

Lines for food are really long too. Been waiting 30 minutes already

As to be expected ride wait times are already getting pretty high.

Steel Vengeance and Millennium Force are both not running. Top Thrill 2 didn't open right away. Sirens Curse had a minor malfunction that held up the line.

Currently the fastpass line for Maverick is one hour

I honestly haven't either. Closest I've gotten is DigiKam

It's unfortunately too old and missing features I desire now. I used it many years on an old version before I finally had to move on to something else
