The Nashville Predators selected right-handed defenseman Shea Weber in the 2nd round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft not knowing that the 49th overall pick would become the only homegrown Captain in franchise history- and the face of Smashville hockey.
Combining unparalleled grit and strength with a cannon of a slapshot, Weber ascended to the World Class of hockey players- earning his place as a two-time Olympic gold medalist with Team Canada. He is, without question, one of the premiere defenders in the world.
His 11 seasons as a Nashville Predator saw him earn a mountain of accolades- five All-Star appearances, two as a First-Teamer and two as a Second-Teamer.
