WHEELING, W.Va. – The Wheeling Nailers, ECHL affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins, announced the team has signed defenseman Avery Winslow to a contract for the 2023-24 season.
Winslow, 20, is set to make his professional debut, after finishing his junior career in the Ontario Hockey League. He played the majority of his three OHL seasons with the North Bay Battalion, in addition to some time with the London Knights. Winslow’s career took off in a big way in 2021, as he racked up 29 points (5g-24a) and a +28 rating in 107 games over his final two campaigns.
The St. Pete Beach, Florida native enjoyed great team success during both of those years as well, as the Battalion won back-to-back Central Division titles, and reached the Western Conference Final twice in a row. Winslow collected 11 points in 32 contests during the two postseason runs. In 2021, he attended Prospects Camp with his hometown team, the Tampa Bay Lightning.
