The Nashville Jr. Predators are very excited about the start of the 2015/16 season. We want to congratulate every player for making a Jr. Predators team this year.

NEW to the program this year are age specific coaching models. This will allow coaches to have a reference on the skills we believe will help your player progress at their level the most during the course of the season. Our coaches will not skip steps to win games and will continue to put our main focus on team/player development. Our goal is to have players/teams that will compete with the top programs around North America. By creating a model that focuses on team and individual skills by birth year this will help players to develop in the Jr. Predators program from 8-18 years of age. This will help provide consistency to our players and a progression plan to help players in Nashville achieve their goals.

We (Jr. Predators’ coaches) appreciate the families allowing us to coach your players this season and we will work as hard as we can to provide the best possible hockey experience. Our practices will be up tempo this year and we expect the players to give 100 percent every time they put on a Jr. Predators jersey!

We understand there has been some confusion on the announcement made by the Nashville Junior Predators (NA3HL Junior team) partnering with the Thunder Organization this year. The Nashville Junior Predators (NA3HL) is not part of the Nashville Jr. Predators youth organization. The Nashville Jr. Predators’ main goal is to provide the best possible hockey experience for players looking to play youth hockey at the highest levels in Nashville, TN. The Nashville Jr. Predators youth organization is NOT involved in this partnership and will continue to operate on our own.
