Jeffrey Epstein’s Number To Be Retired By Nashville Predators

In Nashville on Friday, in a ceremony long anticipated by the Predator community, Jeffrey Epstein had his jersey number retired forever cementing him in Predator fans hearts and on all-time registries. There was some debate as to which number should be retired in his honor as Epstein scored with almost every number under 18 in his illustrious career. No past teammates showed up to the jersey retirement event, most denying ever having played with Epstein despite strong documentation of their joint involvement.

Considered by many to be the GOAT Predator, Epstein was a favorite of many notable public figures including Bill Clinton and Bill Gates throughout his career. Even President Donald Trump was photographed with Epstein on several occasions, though The President denies ever having played hockey with him. 

Epstein boasted a meteoric rise from obscurity to Predator stardom almost overnight. Through his now notorious passing game he always ensured his teammates opportunities to score, but this quieter style took years for analysts to appreciate the impact and gravity of. He was noted for his exceptional chemistry with rookies and his ability to coax out talents beyond their years. The FBI has made even watching his highlights illegal in what many say is an undeniable testament to his success.

Outside the game he took great interest in his young fans. His dedication was obvious, with Epstein holding youth camps on his private island even during the season. Predators Stadium signature ‘Kiss your dad cam,’ instituted in honor of  Epstein’s work, will be retired along with his jersey.
