Get Involved with the Nashville Predators®

Team Incentive 1

Little Preds

The NHL and the NHLPA have partnered with the Nashville Predators to provide a low-cost opportunity for kids to try hockey for the first time. Each hockey season, boys and girls (age 4-9) will discover the sport of hockey for the first time through the Little Preds Learn to Play Hockey Program presented by CAT Financial. This program will be offered in rinks throughout Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and Kentucky.

Little Preds Learn to Play is a multi-week class focused on the fundamentals of ice hockey. Nashville Predators Alumni will be on hand at many of the sessions to coach. Each participant in the program will receive their own head-to-toe set of hockey equipment to keep thanks to the combined efforts of the Nashville Predators and Pure Hockey.

Participants are encouraged, but not required to have completed a Learn to Skate program at a local rink before signing up for Little Preds.
