From Expansion Team to Smashville Stampede
Believe it or not, the Predators are a relatively young team, having joined the NHL in 1998. But don't let their age fool you. They've quickly become a fan favorite, electrifying Smashville (that's what Nashville Preds fans call their city during hockey season) with their aggressive style and, of course, the iconic gold tooth on their logo.
They've made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals (the NHL championship series, for those not in the know), and their passionate fanbase is known for rocking Bridgestone Arena, the Preds' home ice, with chants and cheers that could wake up a hibernating bear.
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
