A Statement from the Nashville Predators

We've been asked to make a statement.
Our statement is that we are done with simply making a statement. Words are not enough. Now is the time to translate our emotions into action, just as athletes have done in recent days.
We feel it is our duty to follow suit and put action into place using the platform we have to fight racial injustice and inequality.

These issues won't be eradicated overnight by a professional sports franchise. But we have to start somewhere - not only for us, but for the future generations who deserve to find this world better than how we found it.
We don't have the answers. We will make mistakes. However, we can assure you that we will work tirelessly with our current and former players, the NHL, the NHLPA, and the Hockey Diversity Alliance in the coming days to enact real change for years to come.
Together we can be better.
Together we will be better.
Together we must be better.
