House Joint Resolution 950 (HJR0950) is a resolution that honors Gnash, the beloved mascot of the Nashville Predators, on the occasion of his twenty-fifth anniversary with the franchise. The resolution highlights Gnash's significant role as the public face of the team and his unwavering commitment to entertaining fans.
