The Nashville Predators are part of the National Hockey League (NHL), and are located in Nashville, Tennessee. Bridgestone Arena is the place they call home, and it is a very modern looking arena compared to some other clubs. The team is the newest of the Tennessee professional franchises, joining the NHL in 1998. Since then, they have appeared in one Stanley Cup finals in 2017, but have yet to bring home the trophy yet. They have seen success in recent years, and I believe that a championship is in the near future.
In recent news, the Predators have recently agreed to bring former goalkeeper Pekka Rinne onto the team as a special advisor. Rinne played his entire 13-season NHL career for the Predators, retiring as their regular-season leader in games (683), starts (667), wins (369), shutouts (60), goals-against average (2.43) and saves (17,627). He is the only former predator to ever have his number retired. Rinne will be crucial to the further success of this organization, as he will play a mentor role to the new rookies, especially to new goalies entering the Predators franchise.
