For 30 years, Hiller Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical has held the motto "happy you'll be or the service is free," and their partnership with the Predators has been nothing short of happy.

During the month of September, Hiller is celebrating their 30th anniversary, and Preds fans are invited to take advantage with 30 percent off HVAC Tune-Ups offer, which may be booked by visiting HappyHiller.com.

Perks like that make the relationship between Hiller and the Preds one that is sure to deliver for fans all over Tennessee and beyond.

Elbow bumps were traded instead of hugs, and masks became part of golf attire, but drives were flying and putts were sunk just as they are every year about this time.

The Nashville Predators Foundation hosted its 10th annual First Horizon Brent Peterson Golf Classic on Monday at the Vanderbilt Legends Club in Franklin, Tennessee, and despite the new guidelines in place throughout everyday life, the ultimate goal was still achieved.

Over $70,000 was raised for the Preds Foundation and Peterson Foundation for Parkinson's during the course of the day, and in the past decade, over $1.6 million has been accumulated thanks to the event.

Dan Hinote isn't about to flash his Stanley Cup ring to everyone on the first day of training camp to begin the 2020-21 season - whenever that may be.

But Nashville's new assistant coach, who won the sport's ultimate prize back in 2001 as a player with the Colorado Avalanche, has never forgotten that experience and how he and his team got there.

That championship run is just one of the moments that have shaped Hinote over the past two decades, first as a scrappy, tenacious forward who appeared in more than 500 NHL contests, and now as a voice behind the bench for players hoping to reach the pinnacle just like he did.

For more than a decade, the partnership between the Predators and Anheuser-Busch has brought hockey fans together at Bridgestone Arena and beyond.

Although we can't gather in the Bud Light Fan Zone at the arena for the time being, the relationship between the Preds and Anheuser-Busch remains strong.

"Bud Light is proud of our partnership with the Predators and our connection to the city of Nashville," Sr. Experiential Manager, Southeast Region Eddy Leal said. "The team and the passion among their fans has been an incredible way for us to be a part of the excitement in the city. There's no better way to have fun and celebrate a Preds win than over a crisp Bud Light, and we're looking forward to continuing our partnership with the Predators to energize the fanbase."

Nashville, Tenn. (September 10, 2020) - Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/GM David Poile announced today that the team has hired Dan Hinote as an assistant coach.

"Dan Hinote's character, personality, as well as playing and coaching experience will be a great fit for our team and players," Predators Head Coach John Hynes said. "As a player, Dan brought energy and leadership to his teams, winning a Stanley Cup with Colorado in 2001, and his experience as a coach with the Columbus Blue Jackets and USA Hockey's National Team Development Program will be of great value to our organization."

"In this assistant coach position, we were looking for a former player who was fairly recently retired but still had coaching experience, and Dan fit that description perfectly," Poile said. "He builds strong connections with players - including Ryan Johansen in his time in Columbus - and has played with Predators alumni and Hall of Famers Paul Kariya and Peter Forsberg in Colorado, as well as Predators Director of Player Development Scott Nichol, Preds broadcaster Chris Mason and Kariya again in St. Louis. Dan complements John and the rest of our current staff nicely, and I trust he will be a tremendous asset to the team."

Stretch out those hamstrings, lace up the sneakers and prepare to conquer your favorite route - no matter where you are in the world - with some help from the Preds.

"Well, the first two weeks have been pretty good," Hamhuis laughed. "I guess maybe I'm in the honeymoon stage."
