#18 History & Future of Centennial Sportsplex

Ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes at your local ice rink? In this episode of Beer League Live, we sit down with Frank “The Commish” Wright, who has spent 40+ years managing Centennial Sportsplex in Nashville. We dive into how ice time gets scheduled, what it takes to run adult beer leagues, youth hockey logistics, rink culture, referee challenges, and legendary beer league brawl stories (including a flying atomic elbow that broke up a fight!).

Whether you’re a beer leaguer, hockey parent, coach, or rink rat — this episode gives you an inside look at how rinks operate and the community that grows inside them.

Frank talks about the Nashville Predators' proposal to take over operations at the Centennial Sportsplex. Is Nashville the next Dallas?
