On Friday the Nashville Predators capped a special Teacher Appreciation Week celebration, after spending the week delivering lunch to some of Nashville's most deserving people.

From Monday to Friday, the Preds and partner Hunt Brothers Pizza thanked faculty at five local schools, handing out pizza and snacks from partners Christie Cookie and Frito-Lay. 

Of course, the gesture wouldn't be complete without some help from the boys in Gold - starting with defensemen Roman Josi and Ryan McDonagh at Hillsboro High School.

Nashville, Tenn. (April 26, 2023) - SS&E, a division of Predators Holdings, has partnered with Iroquois Steeplechase to offer Nashville Predators Partners, Premium Seat Holders, Season Ticket Citizens and all sports fans the exclusive opportunity to purchase individual, tailgating and VIP tickets for the 81st Anniversary of the event - which will take place on Saturday, May 13, at Percy Warner Park in Franklin, Tenn. A portion of proceeds from the event will benefit the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt University.

Nashville, Tenn. (April 12, 2023) - The Nashville Predators Foundation empowered by SmileDirectClub will auction off autographed Predators jerseys with a Covenant School patch worn during the game on April 14 against the Colorado Avalanche at Bridgestone Arena. All proceeds from the jerseys will benefit the Caring for Covenant Fund, Daystar Counseling Ministries and our first responders.

In the early hours of Tuesday morning a small hole appeared on the plaza outside 501 Broadway. 

It's purpose: to hold a time capsule filled with trinkets, historical items and memorabilia celebrating the legacy of Nashville Predators franchise legend Pekka Rinne.

It begs the question: what's inside the capsule?

Nashville, Tenn. (March 21, 2023) - The Nashville Predators Foundation empowered by SmileDirectClub will host its 16th Wine Festival and Tasting, presented by Deacon's New South and bitse.io powered by Identiv, on Thursday, March 30 over the ice at Bridgestone Arena. The event will run from 6 to 10 p.m. CT and will feature more than 300 higher-end wines, beer and spirits, food samplings from local restaurants and an extensive silent auction. 

Matt Duchene has skated in hundreds, if not thousands, of games throughout his hockey career, but according to the veteran forward, a daycare pickup game with friend Anthony Micallef might stand as one of the most memorable.

Nashville, Tenn. (March 10, 2023) - The Nashville Predators organization, in partnership with Ford, Middle Tennessee State University and Fort Campbell military base, will host the Ford Military Salute week beginning on Sunday, March 12 to celebrate military families. The annual weeklong initiative will feature military elements activated on the plaza, concourse and throughout the in-game presentation each night during the three Military Appreciation Games on March 14, 16 and 18.

Nashville, Tenn. (February 28, 2023) - The Nashville Predators Foundation and SmileDirectClub announced today that Café Momentum Nashville, a nonprofit restaurant and professional training facility, will be presented with a SuperGrant totaling $54,534 tonight as the Predators host the Pittsburgh Penguins at Bridgestone Arena. The SuperGrant will cover the cost of a branded catering van and supplies to help Café Momentum grow its program and generate additional catering jobs and income for the youth in the program.

Nashville, Tenn. (February 19, 2023) - The Nashville Predators will unveil a statue of former goaltender Pekka Rinne on Saturday, March 25 at 10 a.m. CT ahead of that afternoon's game against the Seattle Kraken at Bridgestone Arena. Rinne, who played his entire 683-game NHL career in Nashville, retired in 2021 after 15 seasons. This announcement comes exactly 35 days ahead of the unveiling to honor Rinne's historic jersey number - the first and only retired jersey in the history of the Predators organization. 

July 18, 2016 began the same as most Mondays do at the Metro Nashville Police Department's East Precinct - that is, until a new face walked through the door with a special delivery.

P.K. Subban, having arrived in his new city just 24 hours earlier - and less than three weeks after a blockbuster trade between the Nashville Predators and Montreal Canadiens - had a car full of Amerigo's and wanted to introduce himself to the Music City's finest with a hot meal.

There were no cameras, no members of the media and no fanfare - just P.K. doing what he does best.

20-year Metro Police veteran Mike Fisher - no, not that Mike Fisher - recalls the day vividly. 

"We were all just blown away that this guy just pops in," Fisher said. "He told us growing up that he had a close childhood friend whose father was a police officer. And so he was just talking with us about his interaction with law enforcement from being a kid all the way up to then and how he wanted to get plugged in [to the community]."

The following summer, Subban would find a way to plug in permanently.
