Meet The Members of the 'Ladies On The PowerPlay'!
Well hello! My name is Amber. I was born and raised in a small town here in Tennessee. I grew up watching ‘The Mighty Ducks’ which led to playing street hockey with friends (yeah, we were awesome!). I also love watching Vanderbilt sports! Vanderbilt Club Hockey and Vanderbilt Football are my top favorite events to attend, but also love supporting Vanderbilt baseball and basketball. However, a little over two years ago, I attended my first Nashville Predators hockey game and fell in love with hockey all over again! I average about 20 plus games a season. My goal is to become a season ticket holder in the near future! (For now, you can find me in Section 303 or somewhere around the arena)
I am a graduate of Tennessee Tech University where I majored in Elementary Education. But wait! That degree has been followed by a M.A. degree in school counseling which has led to finishing classes for an Ed.S. degree in school counseling. Whew! It will hopefully all be over soon this May! I am currently teaching 4th and 5th grade in specific subjects! (They currently beg me every day to bring them to a Predators’ game!)
When I am not teaching and going to school, I enjoy coming to watch the Predators games, Vanderbilt events, spending time with family, hanging out with friends, church events, and traveling.

Hi everyone! My name is Allyson, and I was born and raised in the great state of Tennessee. After growing up in Knoxville, I decided to trek to the west and move to Nashville for college. I fell in love with this town and just couldn’t seem to leave. When not cheering on the Preds at Bridgestone, you can find me at my day job as a dietitian at St. Thomas Hospital (Yes, I eat desserts and pizza and no, I am not judging what you are eating right now). In my free time, I love to run, play guitar, go to concerts (especially NEEDTOBREATHE), and watch my Vols play football but enough about me. I just love meeting new people and fellow Preds’ fans, so come find me in section 303!

First Preds’ Game: I was a little late to the party and didn’t experience my 1st Preds’ game until January 2012, when the Preds played the Stars. Although the Preds lost 4-1, I had the chance to experience what I had been missing out on for the four years I had lived in Nashville. Since then, I have been hooked and am now a season ticket holder!
Fun Fact: I lived in Baja California, Mexico for two summers in college to learn Spanish.

Hi I’m Staci from West Virginia and attended a Huntington Blizzard (ECHL) game, but absolutely hated it. Thankfully, I did give the Blizzards a second chance and that’s when I got hooked on this awesome sport. My first NHL team was the Colorado Avalanche, but after moving to Nashville, the Predators took over the top spot in my heart. During the offseason, I spend most nights at Greer Stadium to watch the Nashville Sounds. Oh, and I also enjoy college football. (Marshall and Vanderbilt)
When I’m not at a game, I spend time with friends and enjoy going to concerts.

Hi! I’m Heather! I’m not originally from Tennessee! J I grew up in Pennsylvania but have lived all over! I grew up with a family that loved hockey, unfortunately the Red Wings. I did not follow that path and my very first hockey love was the Maple Leafs (who I still follow and love). Moving to the Nashville area switched my attention to the Preds and after attending several games with friends and boyfriend became a Predators STH.
When I’m not at a Preds’ game or event I can be found traveling, reading, or catching up on the DVR. During the day I am the Assistant Director of a Private Preschool in Murfreesboro. I like to spend time out of the house and do anything I can to not be home on the weekends, I look at it as living life to the fullest! ☺
