The Nashville Predators and Boston Bruins NHL teams held a moment of silence ahead of Tuesday’s game in memory of those murdered in a Christian grade school by a transgender activist on Monday.
After the game, Nashville defenseman Ryan McDonagh told the media that the team felt a duty to try and uplift the community after the senseless crime.
“We felt like we needed to go out and do our job the best we could and sacrifice and leave it all out there and just try to maybe bring a little bit of inspiration to the city of Nashville,” McDonagh said. McDonagh also stayed home in Nashville on Monday to be with his family in the aftermath of the crime. He joined the team the next day, just ahead of the game.
“Quite frankly there are really no words that you can say after what went on yesterday in Nashville,” adding, “Just a tragedy for those families and everybody affected. You don’t really realize it until you have kids of your own and the perspective. It hits you.” Tonight, we join the Predators and the Nashville community in support of all those affected by Monday’s tragic events at The Covenant School.
