About The Florida Panthers
The Florida Panthers entered the National Hockey League in 1993, becoming one of the most successful first-year expansion teams in history.

Led by owner Vincent J. Viola since Sept. 27, 2013, the organization has placed an emphasis on building a winning culture in South Florida and becoming stewards of its community. Under General Manager Bill Zito and Head Coach Joel Quenneville, the Panthers have grown into a fast, dynamic and exciting team boasting 2020-21 Frank J. Selke Trophy Recipient Aleksander Barkov, elite young playmakers Jonathan Huberdeau and Carter Verhaeghe, stalwart defensemen Aaron Ekblad and MacKenzie Weegar, two-time Vezina Trophy recipient Sergei Bobrovsky, and young group of top draft picks on the rise featuring forwards Owen Tippett, Grigori Denisenko and Anton Lundell, and goaltender Spencer Knight.
