You don’t always get a chance to hear a coach outside of a media scrum or post-game press conference. This year hundreds of high-level coaches got to at the Fischer Center for the Performing Arts at Belmont University for the NHL Global Coaching Clinic.
This annual event takes place during the NHL Draft Week festivities, and as the hosts the Nashville Predators new head coach, and fourth in franchise history, had opening duties. Andrew Brunette didn’t have the prep time that several of the speakers did.
The newly hired head coach of the Nashville Predators had less than a month to put together his opening remarks and talk about connecting with the modern athlete and building a positive environment.
