Nashville Predators hosting "Skate of the Union" July 8

The Nashville Predators are holding a "Skate of the Union" event at Bridgestone Arena on Thursday, July 8, as a followup to a very successful event they held last summer.

From the Preds:

On Thursday, July 8 from 4-8pm, the Nashville Predators will host the annual Skate of the Union event at Bridgestone Arena. This event will give fans the opportunity to purchase used player equipment, get autographs from Joel Ward as well as Preds First Round Picks, take a free souvenir photo with Brentwood's own Blake Geoffrion, and ask questions in our town hall style Skate of the Union panel discussion.

Participating in this year's panel are President of Hockey Operations David Poile, President of Business Operations Ed Lang, Head Coach Barry Trotz, and Chairman Tom Cigarran. The panel will be hosted by Nashville Predators Play-by-Play Announcer Pete Weber. Fans can submit questions for the panel when entering Bridgestone Arena.     

It runs from 4:00-8:00 p.m. that day, so head over to the team's site for the complete schedule of events that day and plan on coming down, it's a great chance to get some gear, hear from the team leadership, and get your picture taken with Blake Geoffrion to boot!
