The new Preds FREE Girls Hockey program will be broken down into two distinct demographics: new players and continuing players. In the winter/spring of 2021, we will relaunch the program with a renewed focus on first-time players, the Preds Girls Hockey Development Program.  The curriculum will focus on the learn to skate and learn to play development models to build a strong skating foundation and help overall development. Players will be split into two age groups named for the most decorated captains in United States national team history: Granato  (ages 4-10) and Duggan (ages 11-17). Each division will have 30 players. 

This is the first program created under the Predators commitment to growing girls hockey, in association with the NHL and NHLPA Industry Growth Fund grant.  

Preds Girls Hockey Development Program: 12-week development program 

Weeks 1-4: Learn to Skate 

• The first four weeks will focus largely on the skating technique. It is important to teach the fundamentals of skating for improved overall development. 

Weeks 5-12: Learn to Play 

• At week 5, players will start to focus on the Learn to Play model of the program. Hockey skills will be introduced at a quicker pace since skating fundamentals have already be covered in the previous weeks.
