The Nashville Predators would like to pass on the following  information to all of our fans. Although this is not an official Predators event we  want to thank all of those working to make it possible. Feel free to pass on the information to others  that  may be interested. We hope that you have a happy and safe holiday season!

 

 

 

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

From: Jack Knowles, Event Organizer

 

Re: Predators Fan Support Rally

 

On January 1st 2005, fans of the Nashville Predators will gather in front of the Gaylord Entertainment Center (GEC) at 1 PM to show support of our team. In the past, the Predators play a traditional New Years Day home game against a top NHL team but this year, it will not happen due to the current lockout by the NHL and the NHLPA over the CBA agreement.

 

The purpose of the rally is not only let the Predators know that we still support them and we'll return to the GEC when a new CBA agreement has been reached but also send a message to the NHL, NHLPA, Gary Bettman, and Bob Goodenow that the fans are being left behind while both organizations are currently in deadlock. Since the lockout has begun, businesses, bars, shops, etc. in downtown Nashville have been losing money each day/night, when the Predators were scheduled to play at the GEC. We (as fans) feel that any "negative" impact during this lockout (from games not playing to frustrated fans boycotting/not coming back) will hurt the Predators organization, downtown businesses, as well as the reputation that Nashville has the most loyal and loudest fans in the National Hockey League. The Predators have done great things promoting the team and the sport of hockey for this city and we believe the lockout will "overshadow" what they have accomplished the longer this continues.

 

The rally will begin at 1 PM in front of the Gaylord Entertainment Center, located on Broadway at the Main Entrance, and will last until 3 PM. Fans are encouraged to come out, bring their signs and noisemakers to let the NHL and NHLPA know that the lockout needs to end and we want hockey back in Nashville as well as to let the Predators know that they still have the greatest fans in Music City USA. The more fans attend this rally.....the louder we'll send that message!!

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
