The Nailers are dedicated to the Greater Wheeling area and are focusing their efforts on programs that assist in the development of the community and its youth, using the sport of hockey to touch as many lives as possible. The Wheeling Nailers will be recognizing three everyday heroes in the community. You can submit yourself as a candidate, or you can submit someone that you believe deserves the credit for all of the hard work they put in on a daily basis. It's up to you.

Everyday heroes winners will be honored with a prize pack that the Nailers believe is worthy of all that person does, and one that aims to spread the act of giving back to the community.

Honorees will receive:
- 10 tickets good for any game during the 2013-14 Nailers season
- Wheeling Nailers Autograph Stick
- Wheeling Nailers Merchandise
- On-Ice Recognition
