WHEELING, WV- The Wheeling Nailers are excited to announce their tenth player signing of the 2026 offseason. Wheeling has signed forward Kishaun Gervais to an ECHL contract.
Gervais, 24, is entering his fourth professional season, having spent the majority of his first three years in the ECHL. Kishaun began his pro career by scoring six goals in four games for the SPHL's Birmingham Bulls, which quickly put him on the radar in the ECHL. He was signed by the Tulsa Oilers in November of 2023, and proceeded to amass 13 goals, nine assists, 22 points, and 76 penalty minutes in 52 games. One of the highlights from his rookie season was a game winning goal in the seventh round of a shootout at WesBanco Arena. Gervais began the 2024-25 season in Finland, then returned to North America to rejoin the Oilers, before being traded to the Adirondack Thunder. Once again, he made his presence known against the Nailers, as he notched a goal and an assist in a game in the Friendly City, then dropped the gloves with Cole Tymkin on back-to-back nights in Glens Falls. This past season, Kishaun suited up in 21 games for Adirondack, then finished the year by appearing in five games with the Kalamazoo Wings. His ECHL career totals are 27 goals, 24 assists, 51 points, and 223 penalty minutes in 122 games.
Prior to turning pro, the Keeseekoose First Nation, Saskatchewan native played four seasons of junior hockey in the WHL and SJHL, then attended Lakehead University for one year. Gervais' best season of junior hockey came in 2021-22, when he led the SJHL's Yorkton Terriers with 22 goals, 21 assists, 43 points, and 92 penalty minutes in 47 games. He added 12 points in 11 postseason contests that spring. Kishaun has an older brother Kailum, who has played for the Cote Selects in Saskatchewan for the last four seasons.
Kishaun Gervais and the Wheeling Nailers will begin the 2026-27 season in Indy on Friday, October 16th. The first home game is Saturday, October 24th against the Toledo Walleye.
