WHEELING — The Wheeling Nailers are hosting their second-annual Sensory Day Game on Sunday at WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, where they will face off against the Greensboro Gargoyles.

This unique game experience is designed to celebrate people of all ages who might be sensitive to the loud noises, pyrotechnics and flashing lights of a typical professional hockey game.

The Wheeling Nailers partnered with Easterseals Rehabilitation Center and Augusta Levy Behavioral Services to ensure the game is an enjoyable experience for fans who might not otherwise feel comfortable attending a game.

One of Easterseals’ speech therapy clients, 5-year-old Silas, will drop the ceremonial puck for the game.

Accommodations include: no goal horn, no flashing lights, no dark lighting, no pre-game pyrotechnics
