Wheeling Nailers

My kids and I had a great time it was the first Hockey game we have ever been to. We will be going to more of them.

A battle of goalies as Patrick Killeen of the Nailers and Matt Dalton of the Royals shutout everyone until Killeen let one in during the shootout. My first shootout in person. Exciting game.

Took the family to Wheeling for a game. We always have fun when we go to see the Nailers. They got off to a great start, but then they decided to demonstrate the reasons they won't be in the playoffs this year. Lost 8-2. No one will ever accuse Wesbanco Arena (or Wheeling) of being overly pretty. But it's comfortable, there are no bad seats, and food/beer are far more reasonably priced than most other sporting venues.

My daughter became ill and we weren't abke to attend but I heard that it was an outstanding presentation!

This event was alot of FUNN, especially for the price. the seat weren't comfortable, but we were really close, and Hockey is always good to watch. Also enjoys the bar that was available.

Great prices... great venue... Just a good time....

Great game, easy access getting in and out of the arena, and reasonable prices on the concession stand menu.

The arena is small wich is a good thing as you are right in the action. it is a reasonable price to watch semi proffesional hockey with the whole family Seat Info: Section 14 seats row B are right behind the pentalty box they would be great seats if you were with your boys drinking and carrying on, but with three kids it was difficult to keep them focused on the game as the people in the box where distracting and in the way.

Game started one hour later then posted time. Seats were great. Drive from Pgh.to Wheeling is short. So it's always a good time. Last Nailers game went to sat in the same seats and saw the same teams play. Didn't remember away team until I checked other tickets. What are the odds? They also lost that game.

First experience at WesBanco arena, really enjoyed it. Loved the atmosphere, easy to get to, great price, good time. Nailers fan, Pens fan, Steelers fan all rolled into one event!

I love going to hockey games and when the nailers come to Johnstown for a game I am always there. Great game! Just wish the refs would let them fight....

Awesome town...you have to go to Scott's by Dam next to the War Memorial...great tacos!!!!

The game was great, but even tho I bought front row seats they sat us in uncomfortable folding chairs instead of the regular stand seats like everyone else. Very limited parking also. If ur going to a game at Cambria war memorial DON'T buy front row seats.

Let's bring back the Chiefs!________________________________

Had a better than expected time at the game, the minor league atmosphere was great.

It was a great game and atmosphere at the war memorial arena. I plan on making it back for as many Nailer games I can that they are playing there. Great time all around.

If you're a hockey fan as I am, you'll have fun here. The game between the Nailers, a Canadians/Penguins affiliate and the wings, a Rangers affiliate was hard fought and fast moving. The areana is small, like a college facility and attendence is low enough so that we got great seats. The goal horn will blast you out of your seats if you're sitting in the corner that it's in (behind sections 217 & 218). The place is well kept and the refreshments are reasonable by professional sport standards ($4.00 for a decent beer).

Of course this was a great game! Even though they had lost, they kept me on my feet. I am definitely going to every game when they are in Johnstown and I really hope they decide to stay next season

Not as interesting as the previous games I have experienced. The refs were breaking up all of the altercations which made me disinterrested.

The game was great and really had a pro feel to it. The venue was very clean, well lighted and easy to get around, concessions were varied and reasonably priced and we really felt like part of the game. The only bummer was that our seats (myself, a 43 dad, and two 8 y.o. daughters) were immediately behind the visitor's bench. In a way it was great to be that close to the players but we were very obstructed from a lot of the action and at the first intermission decided to ask about moving. The usher was totally unsympathetic and unwilling to help us find better seats, this even though the place was at ~1/3 capacity. He said "the Nailers were getting really strict on that kind of thing lately." ??? We were very disappointed. We decided to stretch our legs and walked around the concourse and found better seats anyway in a higher section. No one was bothered in the least. I was shocked the staff wasn't more accommodating. I'll still see another game there as I view this as a "training issue" and as such a distraction rather than a deterrent.

We took two friends who had never seen a hockey game. They are now fans. We sat in row 1, near the end zone. The hitting and the fast pace impressed them,; they didn't miss not being able to see the plays develop. Other than the long drive, the trip was a success.

nice Arena Got to see a hockey up close for a cheap price Would recommend this event

I thought the seats I had were pretty good. I think anywhere in the arena would be a good seat. I would recommend anyone who likes hockey to go watch the game because you get a close up of what is going on. I wouldn't suggest you take young kids there because there are people in the stands that say things that shouldn't be said around them (12 and under). I heard some things that I would have said something to the person yelling except I was rooting for the visiting team and wasn't sure how it would be taken.

We took our 3 kids ages 6, 8 and 9 to their first hockey game and they loved it lots of good family fun we will go back for sure!!!

had a great time!!!!!!! can't wait to do it again.

My family had not been to a hockey game since the Huntington Blizzard left and I thought it would be great to go to a game again so for Christmas I gave Wheeling Nailers tickets and we had a great time. Drove 4 hours to get there and it was worth the drive. My husband said he had forgotten how exciting hockey games were,

The wheeling nailers game was great!!! It is a fun environment. There is no bad seat in the house. It's fun to be able to see the players faces and to be close to the action!

We really enjoyed the game, and the fans were great. The concessions were easy to get to and prices were great. Wish they could have won, but you can't win them all. We are big Penguin fans! Go Pens!

Had great time even tho it was a loss. The seats were great and very easy to find park and get in and out.

SEATS WERE GREAT. HAD A GOOD TIME. JUST WISH THE SCORE WAS HIGHER.

Amazing game. The Nailers won 5-0, and there was some great action throughout the game. I have been to several games before, and there is not a bad seat in the house- all of them are priced fairly as well. I would definitely recommend this venue.

The game itself was great once however the rudeness of the usher and people was horrible. we had people in our seats, people at the end of the row who refused to move and allow us in and an usher who refused to do her job and ask them to move out of the way. We were unable to even sit in our seats and had to go up to section 322

The hockey was great. Nice venue offering a good view from anywhere in the arena. Will definitely go again.

Great seats, great fans, great game! Going again in a week or so. Loved it. 5 Stars!

Nailers were in control early but the Jackals came on strong in the second half of the game. Elmira did the majority of the hitting. That was the momentum changer for them and produced the 3-2 win. The quality of hockey was good and I plan on attending a game the next 2 weekends.

Since the Pens have been out of action for the 2012-13 season I have been driving down to Wheeling for games. Easy to get to the arena, easy parking, a few decent bar's to pre-game, great size venue Can't get a bad seat really. Prices are reasonable, and it was great to see competitive hockey being played again.

First time attending a game and will definitely go again

Both teams played hard, but unfortunately the home team lost. We are planning on making it to another game later next month with the kids...they are gonna love how close we are to the ice!!!

Nailers were great and seats were awesome. Love going to nailers games its always a good time.

Great game and a great time! Perfect to see the Penguins affiliate while the NHL season is on lockout. Patrick Killeen is the Nailers goalie and a Penguins draft pick.

The size of the venue was very personable. Being able to meet the players after the game was great. The value was terrific, three of us went to this game, ate, got two souvenirs for the price of just me going to one Penguins game (ticket and parking).

The game was a blast,from the great shot on goal,to the yelling at other team players,from the players,to the pushing and fighting.What more could you ask for in a hockey match.

Nice to see a game where players are playing for the love of the game and not tainted by the current hockey lockout. This may be the only hockey available this year and it's definately worth your time.

Game was intense, although the Nailers lost!! I would recommend anyone to come see the Nailers. One complaint...MORE MERCHANDISE!!! I wanted to pick up a t-shirt and/or a jersey & there were none to be found. the few t-shirts they did have were crap. I heard other people complaining of the same. Imagine all the money that was lost on that??!!!

Smaller arena and more lively event. Very enjoyable!

This was the first time i had attended a Nailers game before and i can say that it won't be my last it was a great game. Hope to see a lot more Nailers games.

Great family entertainment and facility! Hope the War Memorial stays active and can offer these types of events and more.

Excellent family event. We had a great time. My boys want to go again soon.

The game was wonderful .The action was non stop and very entertaining

Hockey is so much fun to watch in person. It should not matter who the teams are or how crummy the rink is. I find it hard to believe that more people did not attend.

We had a great time at the Nailers game. For the price of $70 we were able to get 4 seats in the first row at the glass behind the home teams bench. There seemed to be some technical issues with the speakers system but the game was great.

I wanted to take my 4 and 6 year old to a hockey game, but didn't want to spend to much. Had great seats, saw a great game and my kids loved it. We even rode the Johnstown Incline Plane.

The game and atmosphere was great!!! The Wheeling Fans are very knowledgeable of the game and the hockey was high quality. I have been to many NHL hockey games and the quality of play was as good as or better than many of the NHL games that I have seen. We will definitely go again. It would be ashamed to see the Nailers leave Wheeling.

The hockey game was great when I could see it. I had ticketmaster pick me the best 8 seats and they gave me the worst. Our seats were right behind the players and the coaches stood right in front of us the whole time. We could only see parts of the ice.

The War Memorial Arena is a wonderful venue for hockey - it is quite nostalgic and offers home town charm. The people of Johnstown are very accommodating and are good down to earth people. ECHL hockey is still alive in this long-time hockey town, and the Nailers are an excellent team to watch. Although they lost this game, they had 54 shots and probably would have won 99 out of 100 games with the effort they brought to the arena. Do yourself a favor and go see the Nailers in Johnstown.

Great seats Great atmosphere. Got to go Good idea for a night out

First time attending a Nailers game. I was very pleased with every aspect.
