WHEELING, WV- The Wheeling Nailers are excited to announce their 15th player signing of the 2026 offseason. Wheeling has signed forward Cam Cook to an ECHL contract.
Cook, 28, is ready to begin his sixth professional season, having played parts of the previous four seasons in the ECHL. Cam spent most of the last two campaigns with the Reading Royals, as he posted ten goals, 11 assists, 21 points, and 74 penalty minutes in 65 games. Last season, the forward lit the lamp five times, and three of those goals opened the scoring in the contest, including two tallies against the Nailers. Cook has also suited up in the ECHL with the Savannah Ghost Pirates, Trois-Rivières Lions, and Adirondack Thunder, giving him career totals of ten goals, 16 assists, 26 points, and 89 penalty minutes in 89 contests.
In addition to his time in the ECHL, the Halifax, Nova Scotia native has played parts of five seasons in the SPHL with Evansville, Fayetteville, Pensacola, and Huntsville. Cook finished second on his team in scoring twice - once with Evansville in 2021-22 when he had 37 points in 50 games, then again in 2023-24, when he finished with 46 points in 40 games with Fayetteville. Cam has played in the playoffs in all five of his professional seasons.
Prior to turning pro, Cook played two seasons of college hockey at Niagara University, and before that, he played parts of four seasons of junior hockey in the North American Hockey League. Cam won two NAHL Championships - one with the Fairbanks Ice Dogs in 2015-16, then another with the Shreveport Mudbugs in 2017-18. He was an alternate captain and the leading goal scorer (22) on the 2017-18 Shreveport squad.
