Whereas , Johansen has continued to support his team, even after falling victim to a season-ending injury and his first layoff since joining the Predators last January; and

in the National Hockey League, inspiring fans with his impressive performances, including 13 points from 14 playoff games against Chicago, St. Louis and Anaheim; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper that this outstanding young man's contributions - both on

and off the ice, having raised money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation during his offseason last year - deserve the full recognition of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County.

Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Megan Barry, Mayor of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, do hereby proclaim

Ryan Johansen Honorary Mayor Of Nashville On June 5, 2017

in the City of Nashville, and I would like to invite all of my fellow citizens and Predators fans to join me in celebrating Ryan Johansen's magical season with the Preds as we head into Game Four of the Stanley Cup Final.

I have hereunto set my hand on this 2nd day of June, 2017.

Megan Barry, Mayor
