From Learn to Skate to AAA
The Nashville Jr. Predators, alongside the @predsnhl and @fordicecenter have built pathways centered on development, opportunity, and passion for the game — and Coulter Welch is a great example of that journey.
Coulter began skating in 2020 through the Scott Hamilton Skating Academy Learn to Skate program. From there, he discovered a love for hockey through programs like Little Preds Learn to Play, PREDecessor, and recreational in-house leagues at the Ford Ice Centers.
After several years developing in-house, Coulter took the next step into travel hockey in 2024, earning a spot on the Preds Select A1 team. That progression continued in 2025 when he made the NJP 11U AAA team — and now he has earned a spot on the 12U AAA team for the 2026-27 season.
Players’ paths are all different — enjoy the journey and don’t get distracted.

Player Pathways: Cade Ellenburg (2009)
From first strides to the highest level — Cade Ellenburg’s journey says it all:
June 2015 — first day in the @fordicecenter GOAL (Get Out And Learn) Program at 6 years old.
August 2016 — first day in the NJP 8U Development Program at 7.
2026–27 — set to compete at the 18U AAA level, entering his 11th season as a Jr. Predator — and his 7th at AAA.
Proof that development isn’t a moment — it’s a process. Proud of the path Cade and his family have supported, and even more excited for what’s ahead.
