Hey all, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I figured it might be my best bet! I got this jersey for my birthday and I was wondering if this jersey has anything to do with the Preds? Cool jersey either way haha Thanks a bunch!

Old youth program back when the team first got here.
Could be a prototype jersey. Ice Tigers was one of the four names up for vote.
Is the Stop like a redshirt, protected player thing?
Ice Tigers was a youth travel hockey program run out of centennial by the Nashville Youth Hockey League. They sponsored A and AA teams that played mostly around the Southeast -Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis- and did tournaments in Cincy, St. Louis, Indy and Nashville. It was a big honor to make one of these teams.
I was probably one of the first waves. They were the team to strive to make. Had a bronze silver and gold team at various ages. I remember a pride point was playing 82 games one season and our closest away game was Knoxville. Don’t know how our parents put up with us. Prime GTA San Andreas in the minivan era
Holy guacamole the nostalgia
That logo is sick
“Ice Tigers” was the runner up to the “Predators” in the fan vote for the mascot name when the team started. The organization for whatever reason didn’t want to license their name to the local youth organizations despite us wearing literal replica jerseys at times, including the Nashville Arena patch on the shoulder. Ice Tigers remained the name of the local travel teams for several years. At some point it became the Jr Preds like most NHL city’s youth teams borrowing their NHL team mascots. That was after my time though
