Nashville, Tenn. (June 13, 2019) - Many of the Nashville Predators' top prospects - including Eeli Tolvanen, Dante Fabbro, Rem Pitlick and a number of the players selected by the club at next weekend's 2019 NHL Draft in Vancouver - will participate in the team's 2019 Development Camp from June 25-29 in Nashville.
The camp officially opens on Tuesday, June 25 with team meetings, off-ice testing and the first of the week's three on-ice sessions. Prospects will also hit the ice for practices on Wednesday, June 26 and Friday, June 28 at Centennial Sportsplex.
The camp will culminate with the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee Future Stars Game on Saturday, June 29 at 7 p.m. CT at Ford Ice Center Antioch. Tickets for the game go on sale the week of June 17 to Smashville Season-Ticket Citizens via their account manager and are $10; all proceeds from ticket sales benefit the Ford Ice Center Scholarship Fund. The contest will be streamed live on NashvillePredators.com and on a big screen outside the rink.

That same day from 5-9 p.m. CT, all fans can also enjoy several activities at Ford Ice Center Antioch's Southeast Green Space, including games, inflatables, face painters, a photo booth, concession stands, giveaways and appearances by GNASH, the Predators Energy Team and team broadcast personalities. The first 100 kids will receive a complimentary street hockey kit, and following the game, Tolvanen, Fabbro and the Preds' 2019 first-round draft pick will sign autographs for fans inside the rink.
Players will also participate in community relations activities across Nashville on Thursday, June 27; a full announcement with times and locations will be available in the coming days.
The purpose of the camp is to educate and direct players in their pro development and conditioning programs. The week's events will be headed up by Predators Director of Player Development/Milwaukee Admirals GM Scott Nichol and Strength and Conditioning Coach David Good, with assistance from the rest of the Nashville Predators and Admirals' (AHL affiliate) coaching and hockey operations staffs. The training itinerary features a variety of on- and off-ice testing, dry-land activities and workouts, on-ice fundamentals work, video sessions, media and nutrition education and team-building activities.
