An affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Montreal Canadiens, the Wheeling Nailers wow fans with swift skating and colorful shiners as they celebrate their 20th season. Instead of nesting in the rafters to watch each bout, fans can enjoy clear views of the savage players on the ice from gold-, red-, or gray-level seats. One of the top-ranked goalies in the ECHL, Patrick Killeen, has sharpened his hand-eye coordination in a quest to top last season’s 979 saves. Forwards Nick Petersen and Ben Street will try to maintain their team's cold tyranny with swift passes, speed-of-sound shots, and gentle camaraderie composed of deep, meaningful silence and smoldering eye contact.
The Nailers’ promotions schedule teems with giveaways and themed events to help fans cheer on the squad. At the December 31 game, attendees greet the approaching New Year by corralling free mouse pads, and on January 7, a youth ski-cap giveaway outfits the noggins of youngsters or the slowly shrinking heads of melting snowmen.

Your workout routine involves:

b. In your bedroom. Watching your family members chew makes you sick.
c. In the food bowl! Hopefully you'll be able to pick out some of those delicious sunflower seeds!
