Nashville Predators: Going Back to the Inaugural 1998 Season

It really doesn’t seem that long ago when NHL hockey came to Nashville, Tennessee and the Predators hockey franchise was born.

Many Nashville natives had very little common knowledge on the beautiful sport of hockey. But one things people instantly loved about it was the physical nature of the game and the speed that you witness when watching it in person.

In that inaugural season the expectations were obviously low. No one knew what to expect other than it was awesome to see the city of Nashville be awarded a team in one of the major sports.
