'The Nashville Predators organization is dedicated to driving positive social change and fostering inclusive communities in SMASHVILLE. 'We are proud to partner with the LGBT Chamber of Commerce and support the league's 'Hockey is for Everyone' initiative,' Nashville Predators President and CEO Sean Henry said.
LGBTQ+ community members will be featured throughout the night, including the Mayor of Smashville, Fan Captain, Hunt Brothers Fan of the Game, Rally Towel Waver and Zamboni riders. LGBTQ+ police, fire, and military highlights will also occur during the game. Predators players will also use special rainbow pride tape on their sticks during warmups showing that Hockey is for Everyone. The night will feature a national anthem performance by LGBTQ+ choir Nashville In Harmony with Ford Band Stage performances by Shelly Fairchild during both intermissions.
'From the players to the staff, to the fans, hockey is for everyone when the Predators celebrate pride.' 'Every year the Predators raise the bar on what Pride Night entails and how inclusive they are towards the community,' Nashville LGBT Chamber CEO Joe Woolley said.
