WHEELING, W.Va. - The Wheeling Nailers, ECHL affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins, announced that they have signed forward Nick Hutchison to a contract for the 2024-25 season.

Hutchison, 29, will be a Nailer for the second time in his career, as he prepares to enter his fifth full professional season, and fourth in North America. He enjoyed an outstanding 2021-22 season in Wheeling, as he racked up 42 points (16g-26a) in 31 games, which included a 16-game point streak. His 1.35 points per game ranked third on the club, and he posted multiple points on 14 occasions, topped by a four-point night in Toledo. That performance earned him a promotion to the American Hockey League, as he finished the 2021-22 season with the Manitoba Moose, then spent the majority of the 2022-23 campaign with the Utica Comets. Hutchison has recorded 16 points in 63 career AHL matches, to go along with his 68 points in 82 career ECHL games with the Nailers, Indy and Adirondack. Hutchison spent last season in Sweden, playing for Västerås IK and AIK, accumulating 17 points (13g-4a) in 30 games.

Prior to turning pro, the Hicksville, New York native attended Canisius College, where he reached double digits in goals and assists in all four seasons, and finished his college career with 113 points (60g-53a) in 140 games. His best individual season at Canisius was his senior year of 2019-20, when he led the team with 18 goals, 14 assists and 32 points, and was named to the All-Atlantic Hockey Second Team. That was his second time being recognized by the conference, as he was an AHC All-Rookie Team selection as a freshman in 2016-17.
