About P4 Hockey

The Nashville Jr. Predators are committed to nurturing their players’ integrity, character, and leadership skills, ensuring they can compete at the highest level while becoming well-rounded individuals! P4 is a team-building program developed for our AAA players. It is designed to optimize team-building and personal development within the club, emphasizing the four Ps: Players, Purpose, Performance, and Pressure!
