David Poile

Poile, who was initially tabbed to the Preds Golden Hall on Aug. 26, 2024, was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a Builder on Nov. 11. He spent 41 consecutive seasons as an NHL general manager with Nashville and Washington – more than anyone else in the game’s history – and guided the Predators to 15 playoff trips, including an appearance in the 2017 Stanley Cup Final. He was named the NHL’s General Manager of the Year in 2017; is a member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame; and won 1,533 career games, the most of any GM in League history. Poile will also serve as the Preds Golden Hall’s chairman and the leader of its selection committee.

Shea Weber

Weber became the first player drafted by the Predators to be inducted as a player into the Hockey Hall of Fame, also on Nov. 11. The 39-year-old former defenseman was selected by Poile in the second round (49th overall) of the 2003 NHL Draft and went on to spend the first 11 seasons of his career with the Predators, recording 443 points (166g-277a) in 763 games. The recipient of the 2016 Mark Messier Leadership Award, Weber served as captain of the Predators for six campaigns and is third in franchise history in games played, fourth in goals and fifth in points.

Pekka Rinne

Rinne retired in July 2021 after spending his entire 683-game NHL career with the Predators. He is etched in Nashville's record books as the franchise leader in nearly every goaltending category, including games played, wins (369), goals-against average (2.43), total TOI (39,413:29), shutouts (60) and saves (17,627). The 2018 Vezina Trophy winner, he finished his career with a record of 369-213-75. Rinne’s No. 35 was retired by the Predators on Feb. 24, 2022; he is the only player in franchise history to have his jersey retired.

Off the ice, Weber and Rinne collaborated as teammates to launch the 365 Pediatric Cancer Fund presented by Twice Daily during the 2012-13 season. The fund works with the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt to raise funds and awareness for cancer research. Since its establishment, millions of dollars have been raised in funding for pediatric cancer research. Rinne won the King Clancy Memorial Trophy in 2021 as a result of a career spent dedicated to the Nashville and Middle Tennessee communities.
