Hockey is for Everyone! And your Nashville Predators are excited to partner with Bridgestone Americas to launch a new youth hockey diversity program â?? CORE (Creating Opportunities for Racial Equality). CORE presented by Bridgestone will provide a unique opportunity for players of diverse backgrounds (ages 4-9) to join the Smashville hockey community while developing fundamental skills to help them succeed both on and off the ice. No prior skating experience is needed, refreshments are provided following each session, and best of all, this program is completely FREE! The Nashville Predators continue our commitment to bridge the social, racial, and economic gap and are excited to bring CORE presented by Bridgestone to underserved communities.
