This week's edition of the Smashville Scope is all about summer fun and enjoying some events now while planning for others in the future. Take a look at some of the unique offerings that are taking place in the days, weeks and months to come in Nashville, Tennessee.

Summer has just begun, and while the heat won't be ceasing anytime soon in Nashville, the
Predators Hockey School
might be the perfect way for the youth hockey players in your life to cool off.
The annual Preds Hockey School is a great summer opportunity for everyone to learn more about the game of hockey, log quality ice time and receive instruction from qualified and professional staff.

Preds Hockey School is geared toward recreational and travel youth hockey players and goaltenders. Participants are grouped by ability to enhance their learning environment. Some skating ability is strongly recommended for beginners, and all participants must provide their own equipment.
