Nashville Pigs

The Nashville Pigs are a professional ice hockey team based in Nashville, Tennessee and play in the Bergen County Family Hockey League (BCFHL). They joined the league in 1991 and play at the First Horizon Bank Arena (formerly named Piggy’s Pizza Palace Arena from 1991-2008 and then First Tennessee Bank Arena from 2008-2019), conveniently located at Piggy's Pizza Palace family fun entertainment center and restaurant. The Pigs have a rivalry with the New Jersey Griffins, primarily because of the high popularity of their fan bases both at home and on the road. The Pigs also faced the Griffins in the 1997 BCFHL finals, but they lost the series at home to them. The team was founded by Stu, Lou, and Drew Pickles. They have won three BCFHL cup championships in 2011-12, 2014-15, and 2020-21. The team has also won 19 division and conference championships, 16 honor titles, 9 Presidents Titles, and 13 Gold Titles. They missed the playoffs five times; 1991-92, 1992-93, 2004-05, 2007-08, and 2018-19. The Pigs' mascot is Piggy the Pig of Piggy's Pizza Palace.

Angelica Pickles
Since 1993, Angelica Pickles is the main protagonist of a series of promotional videos which are played on the jumbotron. She ridicules the mascots of rival teams, pumps up the fans, and reacts to various aspects of the game. Sometimes, the other Rugrats appear in the videos.

The Pig Sty
In the upper section of First Horizon Bank Arena, the seats are brown, which is supposed to be like mud, since that's what pigs like. Thus, that section of the arena is called The Pig Sty, which is the loudest and rowdiest in the building.

The Dancing Miss Fabulous
The Dancing Miss Fabulous, whose real name was Mildred C. White, was a fan of the Pigs ever since the franchise started and was a season ticket holder. She was best known for dancing up a storm in the front row to pump up the fans on the jumbotron. She continued to do this until her death on May 14, 2020.

Dancing Dane
Dancing Dane, whose real name is Dane J. White, is the mother of Mildred C. White. Like her mother, Dane is also a big Pigs fan and a season ticket holder. He too is best known for dancing in the front row while pumping up the crowd via the jumbotron.

Organists
The Pigs have had a few organists over the years. From 1991-1993, the organist was Calvin C. Grantham. Then, from 1993-1995, it was Pete Grangier. From 1997-2015, it was Ethan McGrath. Since 2015, Q.T., formerly of Dumbo's Circus, has been the organist and retains the position to this day.

Goal song
When the Pigs score a goal at First Horizon Bank Arena, their goal song is "I Like It, I Love It" by Tim McGraw. The song made its debut at the start of the 1995-96 season. This version of the song replaces the line "Don't know what it is about that little girl's lovin'" with "Don't know what it is about them little Pigs scorin'".

Victory song
From 1991-2010, the victory song for the Pigs was "Rocky Top" by The Osborne Brothers. By 2010, the victory song was changed to "All I Do is Win" by DJ Khaled. Then, in 2021, it was changed to "We Win" by Kirk Franklin and Lil Baby.

Losing song
Since 1991, the song that plays each time that the Pigs lose is "My Tennessee Mountain Home".
