Nashville, Tenn. (July 7, 2022) – Many of the Nashville Predators’ top prospects – including several players selected by the team in the 2022 NHL Draft – will participate in the team’s 2022 Development Camp from July 11-15 in Nashville.
The camp officially opens on Monday, July 11 with team meetings, off-ice testing and the first of the week’s on-ice sessions. Prospects will also hit the ice on Tuesday, July 12 and Thursday, July 14; all practices will take place at Centennial Sportsplex and are open to the public.
The week culminates with the Prospect Showcase Game on Friday, July 15 at 10:30 a.m. CT at Ford Ice Center Bellevue.

A limited number of seats and standing-room only areas are available on a first-come, first-served basis to the general public, and fans are invited to stop by Draft Picks – the full-service bar and restaurant located on the second floor of the facility – before, during and after the contest. The Prospect Showcase Game will also be streamed live on NashvillePredators.com with Willy Daunic and Chris Mason on the call.
