Nashville, Tenn. (May 28, 2010) – As the school year draws to a close, the Nashville Predators Amateur & Youth Hockey Department is gearing up for a summer full of youth hockey programming – starting with the 2010 Hot Shots Summerfest Tour.

This past academic year, the Hot Shots program traveled to 15 area elementary and middle schools to introduce students to the Nashville Predators and teach them the basics of hockey. During the Nashville Predators off-season (June - August) the Predators youth hockey staff will travel to various youth camps in middle Tennessee, conducting free street hockey clinics as part of the Hot Shots Summerfest Tour.

Now in its fifth year, the Nashville Predators Hot Shots Summerfest Tour is a free street hockey program offered to area youth camps. Through these free, fun-filled educational clinics, Predators staffers conduct street hockey clinics for kids ages 6 - 16 throughout the Middle Tennessee area. Participants will learn to play like pros through stick handling and shooting drills, building teamwork skills and actual game play.
