What’s the deal with Dak Prescott being at the Predators-Blues game in a Nashville jersey? Hockey fan? — Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) April 30, 2017

Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys QB and … Nashville Predators fan? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/xaYZ62ag0t — Troy Hughes™ (@TommySledge) April 30, 2017

@NHLonNBCSports @dak when you don't realize Dallas has a professional hockey team 😱 — Adam (@ChiefHawksFan) April 30, 2017

Dak! Everybody is on board. — Daniel Lewis (@Daniel_LewisRTI) April 30, 2017

Prescott played college football at Mississippi State. He grew up in Louisiana. Neither states have a hockey team. When the Atlanta Thrashers left for Winnipeg, it left a void in the region for hockey. Nashville is closer to Prescott’s roots than Florida or North Carolina. Plus, he’s been to a Predators game before. The Mississippi State football team went to a Predators game in 2011 before the Music City Bowl.

@HeidiB16 haha I wish I didn't! But the team went to the Nashville Predators game — Dak Prescott (@dak) December 29, 2011

Maybe he chose the Predators as his team after that experience? It’s possible.

It also could have been just good timing. Prescott was in Nashville this weekend to speak at the 2017 Legacy of Light Gala at Middle Tennessee Christian School. After all, he was already in the neighborhood.

Until somebody asks Prescott, he won’t know the true roots of his Predators fandom. But it’s clear he’s onboard.

Update: Prescott’s postgame tweet will make Stars fans happy as the Dallas quarterback pledged his allegiance to the hometown team.
