WHEELING, WV- The Wheeling Nailers are excited to announce their 20th player signing of the 2026 offseason. Wheeling has re-signed forward Mike Posma to an ECHL contract.
Posma, 24, returns for his second season with the Nailers. Mike had a great rookie season, as he finished second among Wheeling rookies with 13 goals, third among rookies on the club with 26 points, and tied for second on the team overall with a +19 rating. After scoring his first professional goal on opening night at Cincinnati, the forward caught fire in November. Posma posted back-to-back two-goal games in a weekend sweep of the Maine Mariners to close out a personal four-game point streak, then tallied points in three straight victories to close out the month. Mike finished November with a +11 rating, which made him a co-winner of the ECHL Plus Performer of the Month Award. The rookie added two goals, two assists, and four points in 15 playoff games, including the game tying goal in the game one overtime triumph over Maine in the North Division Final Series. Posma also played four games with the Florida Everblades at the end of the 2024-25 season.
Prior to turning pro, the Pomona, New York native played four seasons of college hockey at Boston College. Posma accumulated 15 goals, 21 assists, and 36 points in 142 games with the Eagles. Boston College won the Hockey East Regular Season Championship during his junior and senior years, and won the Hockey East Tournament Championship during his junior season. Mike has a younger brother, David, who played his senior year as a defenseman at Stonehill College in 2025-26.
