Nashville Predators NHL Advent Calendar 2025 Ornament Set 24 Collectible Mini Figures Hockey Team Logo Jersey Helmet Stick Puck Christmas Holiday Countdown Gift For Smashville Fans

The Nashville Predators NHL Advent Calendar 2025 Ornament Set 24 Collectible Mini Figures Hockey Team Logo Jersey Helmet Stick Puck Christmas Holiday Countdown Gift For Smashville Fans celebrates the franchise’s 28th season (2024-25) since joining the NHL as an expansion team on June 25, 1997, featuring 24 collectible miniature hockey equipment ornaments in the iconic navy blue, gold, and white color scheme that honor nearly three decades of hockey in Music City and the passionate “Smashville” identity created in 2002 by marketing director Gerry Helper to give Nashville fans a distinct hockey culture that combines the city’s musical heritage with hard-hitting, high-energy hockey. This limited-edition holiday advent calendar represents a meaningful collectible during a disappointing 2024-25 season where the Nashville Predators finished 30-44-8 (68 points) under head coach Andrew Brunette and were eliminated from playoff contention on March 27, 2025, after a loss to the St. Louis Blues—marking their first losing record in a full 82-game season since 2002-03 and ending a remarkable streak of playoff appearances that included 15 postseason trips in 19 years from 2004-2022, a devastating finish for a franchise that entered the season with high expectations after signing high-profile free agents Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault, and Brady Skjei in the offseason. The 24-day countdown ornament collection features miniature hockey equipment representing iconic Predators symbols including the distinctive saber-toothed cat logo that references the discovery of saber-toothed tiger fossils in downtown Nashville during excavation for the arena, Bridgestone Arena (their home since opening in 1998 as Gaylord Entertainment Center), catfish that fans throw onto the ice during games in homage to Detroit’s octopus-throwing tradition, jersey numbers of franchise legends including David Legwand (first-ever draft pick in 1998), Pekka Rinne, Shea Weber, Martin Erat, and more recent stars like Roman Josi, Filip Forsberg, Juuse Saros, and the recently acquired Steven Stamkos, plus commemorative designs celebrating milestone moments like the franchise’s stunning 2017 Stanley Cup Final appearance when the eighth-seeded Predators swept the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Chicago Blackhawks in the first round, defeated St. Louis Blues and Anaheim Ducks to reach the Final, and pushed the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins to six games before falling 2-0 in Game 6 at Bridgestone Arena—the franchise’s lone Cup Final appearance that showcased Smashville’s electric atmosphere and established Nashville as a legitimate hockey market. Each ornament honors the franchise’s remarkable journey from expansion longshot to perennial playoff contender spanning from their inaugural 1998-99 season when they finished 28-47-7, through their first playoff appearance in 2004, the “Smashville” brand that emerged in 2002 to create a unique hockey identity blending Music City’s entertainment culture with intimidating home-ice advantage, and the golden era from 2014-2022 when they made eight consecutive playoff appearances including President’s Trophy wins in 2018 (117 points) and division titles that established Nashville as a Central Division powerhouse. This collectible holiday gift set serves as essential memorabilia for Predators fans celebrating 28 seasons at Bridgestone Arena on Fifth Avenue South in downtown Nashville, honoring the “Smashville” faithful who have embraced unique traditions like the fang finger salute, catfish throwing, chanting “It’s all your fault!” at opposing goaltenders after goals, and creating one of the NHL’s loudest and most intimidating playoff atmospheres that helped transform Nashville from a non-traditional hockey market into a passionate hockey city that proved doubters wrong and established the Predators as a successful Sun Belt franchise.
