Penguins and Nailers Part Ways After 29 Years | Pittsburgh Penguins News
Description
After 29 years, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Wheeling Nailers are officially splitting ways — a seismic shift for player development and West Virginia hockey. The Nailers, a community cornerstone since 1992, nurtured NHL talent and coached legends like Peter Laviolette, despite hockey’s niche status in the state. With Penguins ownership now holding the Florida Everblades, realignment was inevitable. Though the end was anticipated, the Nailers’ legacy in development and fan loyalty remains unshakable. Now, they’re actively seeking a new NHL affiliation to keep their mission alive — poised to thrive in a new chapter.
