Dierks Bentley
Jun 1, 2023
Capitol Nashville's Dierks Bentley has signed on to host the 2023 National Hockey League Awards on June 26th from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. The awards show kicks off a week of NHL activities in Nashville, including the 2023 Upper Deck NHL draft on June 28–29. The NHL Awards and Draft will include red-carpet arrivals outside the arena and other NHL and Nashville Predators activities.
"Hockey plays a big part of my daily life," said Bentley. "I’ve been to rinks all over the country with my travel hockey son. I coach his spring league games and spend hours in the local hockey store, telling him, 'No, you do not need a new stick!' We love watching YouTube highlight reels, the whole family loves going to Nashville Predators games and watching the Stanley Cup Final together. And, I am a proud member of a beer league team here in Nashville. To get to add NHL Awards host to this list is truly an honor." The awards show will be broadcast live on TNT, Sportsnet, and TVA Sports in the U.S. and Canada at 7p (CT).
