The recipient of a bachelor's degree in biological sciences from the University of Mississippi, Shelbie Yates is enrolled in the MBA program at Mississippi College and works as an executive assistant with Sable Investments. An avid sports fan, Shelbie Yates counts the Nashville Predators as her favorite National Hockey League (NHL) team.
Adding to an already-impressive defensive core that includes P.K. Subban, Roman Josi, and Ryan Ellis, the Nashville Predators signed veteran defenseman Dan Hamhuis to a two-year, $2.5 million contract on July 25. A veteran of 1,031 career regular season games, Hamhuis has split the past eight seasons between the Dallas Stars and Vancouver Canucks, but played the first six years of his career in Nashville, which selected him 12th overall in the 2001 NHL Draft.
The 35-year-old Smithers, British Columbia native has accumulated 59 goals and 284 assists during his 14-year career. He posted a career-high 38 points with the Predators in the 2005-06 season and, while his offensive skills have diminished in recent years, he's expected to provide the Predators with valuable penalty-killing minutes. He said he chose to return to Nashville because he sees the team as a legitimate contender for the Stanley Cup.
