Hockey is the fastest of all team sports?an emotional, exhilarating, and highly entertaining blend of speed, finesse, intensity, and bone-crunching physical impact. And the NHL's Nashville Predators are, in every respect, a team to watch. But the story leading up to, and through, the Predators' triumphant first season is every bit as exciting as the game itself. Hockey Tonk tells of one man's dream of bringing a pro team to a city best known for its music industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a short report of how every team in the National Hockey League got its name, logo and club colors. We focus on how unique each of the 31 teams’ names, logos and colors are without comparing each to the others. We also try to point out how the teams uniquely reflect the city or locale where they play. Many of these team names, logos and colors also refer to folk legends, untamed animals, military connections, social issues at the time or were just developed through word of mouth. The primary color of most teams is clearly known but not all the secondary colors. Some of these teams have used other logos and sets of colors in the past but this report focuses mainly on the present. Each team is listed according to how long they have played in their present location. The year they each started play there is listed to the right of the team name.
