Hockey School Brochure



The Nashville Predators Hockey School series is a great summer opportunity for boys and girls to learn more about the game of hockey, log quality ice time, and work with Predators players and coaches.

Camps are geared towards the beginner-intermediate level male and female players and goaltenders (beginners should have some skating ability).  Space is limited, however, so make sure to sign up early!

Instructors will emphasize skating skills essential to hockey at all levels.  Participants will be refreshed on the basics and given the opportunity to implement stick-handling, passing and shooting through various practice techniques and positional play. 

For more information, contact the Predators Youth Hockey Department at (615) 770-2372 or aboiman@nashvillepredators.com.
