Commissioner Bettman joins Predators soccer warmup before Stadium Series

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman took part in some pregame sewer ball with members of the Nashville Predators before they took on the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2022 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on Saturday.

Commissioner Bettman joined the traditional warmup game, where players kick a soccer ball to each other trying to keep it in the air, on the Nissan Stadium field about two hours before the first outdoor game in Nashville.
The Predators shared a clip of the game on social media.

As Commissioner Bettman hung out in the circle, one of the Predators players could be heard saying, "give Gary a touch!"
When the ball came his way, Commissioner Bettman played it off a hop and kicked it back to the circle before departing.
As he left he could be heard saying to the Predators players, "have fun guys."
