The Pittsburgh Penguins have officially ended their 29-year ECHL affiliation with the Wheeling Nailers, announcing the Florida Everblades as their new ECHL partner. This change follows the recent sale of the Penguins to the Hoffmann Family, who emphasized their intention to affiliate with the Everblades, a team with a successful championship history. The Nailers are now without an NHL parent club, while the Everblades can now host players from the Penguins’ organization under NHL or AHL contracts.
