Nelson, 31, brings immediate veteran experience and production to the Gargoyles roster. Nelson joins the Gargoyles after spending last season with the Tahoe Knight Monsters where he posted 52 points (18g, 34a) in 66 games. Nelson reunites with Head Coach Scott Burt, who coached Nelson for three seasons while they were with the Rapid City Rush (ECHL) from 2021-2024.
The 6-1, 210-pound center has totaled 424 points (157g, 267a) in 576 career ECHL games split in stints with several teams across the ECHL since 2014.
“Logan is a true warrior and a bit of a throwback player,” said Burt. “Logan plays the game hard, and hates to lose, which is a mindset that we want all of our players to understand. He has played for me before and I have seen him grow his game every year, not only on the ice but off it as well. He understands my standard and culture and he will bring that here to Greensboro.”
During the 2021-22 season, Nelson earned an AHL call-up with the Tucson Roadrunners, appearing in five games.
The Rogers, Minnesota resident was selected by the Buffalo Sabres in the fifth round of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
The Gargoyles begin their inaugural season on October 18th & 19th when they play host to the Jacksonville Icemen at First Horizon Coliseum. Full and partial ticket packages for the 2025-26 Season are currently on sale! Visit www.gargoyleshockey.com for more information.
