The Florida Panthers will enjoy a constant reminder of their triumphant Stanley Cup victory during their practices next season. On Monday, the Baptist Health IcePlex, the Panthers’ training facility located in Fort Lauderdale, proudly unveiled new on-ice decorations dedicated to the team’s historic championship win.
This practice rink, which only opened its doors last season, has added Stanley Cup emblems along the center red line, replacing the traditional white dots. These new embellishments are a celebration of the Panthers’ first-ever Stanley Cup title, serving as a daily commemoration of their exceptional achievement.
The IcePlex recently hosted an exciting event when Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk and former Panther Ryan Lomberg, now with the Calgary Flames, made an impromptu visit. Catching players and fans by surprise, the duo dropped by during a men’s league game, much to the delight of everyone present.
These developments come on the heels of an eventful period for both the IcePlex and South Florida. The Panthers clinched the Stanley Cup on home ice on June 24, and the excitement surrounding the victory continues to reverberate throughout the community.
