The Florida Panthers are a professional ice hockey team. They play in the National Hockey League (NHL). The team is based in the Miami metropolitan area in Florida. They are part of the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference.
The Panthers first played their home games at Miami Arena. In 1998, they moved to Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida. This makes them the southernmost team in the NHL. The Florida Panthers are one of two NHL teams in Florida. The other team is the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Since 2024, Scripps Sports has broadcast the team's games locally. The Panthers also have two minor league teams. These are the Charlotte Checkers in the American Hockey League (AHL) and the Savannah Ghost Pirates in the ECHL.
The Panthers started playing in the 1993–94 season. They set a record for the most points by a new team in its first season. This record was later broken by the Vegas Golden Knights in 2017–18. In 1996, the team reached the Stanley Cup Final for the first time. They lost to the Colorado Avalanche. For many years, between 1996 and 2020, the Panthers did not win a playoff series.
However, since the 2020–21 season, the Panthers have been very successful. They won their first playoff series in 2022. They reached the Stanley Cup Finals for three years in a row, from 2023 to 2025. The Panthers won their first Stanley Cup in 2024. They won again in 2025, becoming champions two years in a row.

History
Early Years (1992–2000)
On December 10, 1992, Wayne Huizenga was given permission to start an NHL team in Miami. He owned Blockbuster Video and also had stakes in the Miami Marlins (baseball) and Miami Dolphins (football). The cost to start the team was $50 million. Huizenga announced the team would play at the Miami Arena. They would share the building with the Miami Heat basketball team.
Huizenga first wanted to name the team "Block Busters." This was a nod to his video rental company. The team would have used blue and gold colors, like Blockbuster. However, the NHL did not approve this name.
On April 20, 1993, the team was officially named the Florida Panthers. This was announced in Fort Lauderdale. Bill Torrey became the team president, and Bobby Clarke was the general manager. The team is named after the Florida panther. This is an endangered big cat that lives in the nearby Everglades region. When the team's logos and uniforms were shown on June 15, they also promised to help protect Florida panthers.
The new team joined the NHL for the 1993–94 season. Another new team, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, also joined. The Panthers built their team by picking players in the 1993 NHL expansion draft and the 1993 NHL entry draft. Ten players from that draft later helped the team reach the Eastern Conference Final in 1996.
The Panthers' first big stars included goalie John Vanbiesbrouck, rookie Rob Niedermayer, and forward Scott Mellanby. Mellanby scored 30 goals in the team's first season. Their first game was a 4–4 tie against the Chicago Blackhawks. Their first win was a 2–0 shutout against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Panthers had one of the most successful first seasons for a new team. They almost made the playoffs in 1994. Their success was largely due to the "trap defense" used by coach Roger Neilson. This style was criticized by some, but fans in Florida quickly supported the team.
In August 1994, general manager Clarke left. Bryan Murray took his place. After missing the playoffs again in the 1994–95 season, Neilson was fired. Doug MacLean became the new coach. The team then got Ray Sheppard and aimed for the playoffs.
The Rat Trick and a Trip to the 1996 Stanley Cup Finals
A unique goal celebration started in Miami during the 1995–96 season. Before a home game, a rat ran into the team's locker room. Player Scott Mellanby hit the rat against the wall, killing it. That night, he scored two goals. Goalie John Vanbiesbrouck joked that it was a "rat trick." When fans heard the story, they started throwing rubber rats onto the ice after goals. This grew from a few rats to over 2,000 during the playoffs!
In the 1996 playoffs, the Panthers were the fourth seed in the East. They beat the Boston Bruins in five games. Bill Lindsay's winning goal in that series is still famous. The Panthers then surprised everyone by beating the top-seeded Philadelphia Flyers in six games. Next, they defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in seven games. This sent them to the 1996 Stanley Cup Final against the Colorado Avalanche. Both teams were in the Finals for the first time. The Avalanche won the series in four games. Even though they lost, the Panthers set a record for most wins by a new team in their first playoffs (12 wins). This record was later broken by the Vegas Golden Knights in 2017–18. Bryan Murray was named NHL Executive of the Year for the team's success.
The next season, the Panthers started strong but struggled later. They lost in the first round of the playoffs to the New York Rangers. In the 1997–98 season, the team had a very bad record. Coach Doug MacLean was fired and Bryan Murray took over as interim coach. This season also marked the end for goalie John Vanbiesbrouck with the Panthers.
New Arena and Challenges (1998–2010)
The Panthers moved into their new home, the National Car Rental Center (now Amerant Bank Arena), in 1998. In 1998–99, they got Pavel Bure, known as the "Russian Rocket," in a big trade. They made the playoffs again in 1999–2000. However, they lost in the first round to the New Jersey Devils. The team struggled in 2000–01. After this, Wayne Huizenga sold the team to a group led by Alan Cohen. The 2001–02 was the Panthers' worst season ever. Pavel Bure was traded to the Rangers.
The Panthers then drafted defenseman Jay Bouwmeester third overall in the 2002 NHL entry draft. In 2003, the Panthers hosted the NHL All-Star weekend.
On June 23, 2006, the Panthers made another big trade with Vancouver. They sent goalie Roberto Luongo away. Many people consider this one of the worst trades in sports history. Luongo was a top goalie, while the players the Panthers received did not play much for the team.
On June 22, 2007, the Panthers traded for goalie Tomas Vokoun from the Nashville Predators. This trade helped the team, and Vokoun was later chosen for the Eastern Conference All-Star Team. In July 2007, Florida showed off their new jerseys to fans.
In June 2008, the Panthers traded their captain Olli Jokinen. The Panthers had a strong 2008–09 season. However, they missed the playoffs for the eighth year in a row. This was the longest streak in the NHL at the time.
In November 2009, Cliff Viner and Stu Siegel became the new owners. The Panthers missed the playoffs for the ninth year in a row in the 2009–10 season. This was a first for an NHL team in one city.
Building a Stronger Team (2010–2020)
The Panthers hired Dale Tallon as their new general manager on May 17, 2010. Tallon worked to rebuild the team. He drafted young players like Erik Gudbranson, Nick Bjugstad, and Quinton Howden. He also brought in many new players. By the end of the 2010–11 season, only Stephen Weiss and David Booth remained from the team before the 2004–05 lockout.
On June 1, 2011, Kevin Dineen became the Panthers' new head coach. The team also changed their look. They released a new red home jersey. In the 2011 off-season, the Panthers added many new players. These included Scottie Upshall, Tomas Fleischmann, Sean Bergenheim, Marcel Goc, Matt Bradley, Ed Jovanovski, Jose Theodore, Kris Versteeg, Tomas Kopecky, and Brian Campbell.
Despite many injuries, the Panthers finished first in their division. This ended their ten-year playoff drought. The Panthers won their first division title on April 7, 2012. However, they lost in the first round of the playoffs to the New Jersey Devils.
In the lockout-shortened 2012–13 season, the Panthers had a very bad season. They finished with the worst record in the league. In the 2013–14 season, the team struggled again. They fired coach Kevin Dineen and hired Peter Horachek. The Panthers also got Roberto Luongo back in a trade. Horachek was replaced by Gerard Gallant at the end of the season. The team also got the first pick in the 2014 NHL entry draft. They used it to pick defenseman Aaron Ekblad.

The Panthers' home opener on October 12, 2014, had the lowest attendance ever for a home opener. Despite their record, the Panthers missed the 2015 playoffs.
On December 8, 2015, the Panthers announced a new lease agreement. They also said they would get a new logo and uniforms after the 2015–16 season. Their original logo had been used since 1993.
In the 2015–16 season, the team set a franchise record with a 12-game winning streak. They also set a record for most wins in a regular season with 47. They won their division for the second time. However, the Panthers lost to the New York Islanders in the first round of the playoffs. Coach Gerard Gallant was nominated for the Jack Adams Award, which is for the NHL Coach of the Year.
Front Office Changes (2016–2020)
The 2016–17 season began with changes in management. General manager Dale Tallon was promoted. Tom Rowe became the new general manager. After a slow start, the Panthers fired coach Gerard Gallant. Tom Rowe took over as interim head coach. At the end of the season, Rowe was removed from his coaching and general manager roles. Tallon returned as president and general manager. On June 12, 2017, Bob Boughner was named the new head coach.
In the 2017 NHL expansion draft, the Panthers left Jonathan Marchessault and Reilly Smith unprotected. Both players had scored 30 goals. These players were picked by the Vegas Golden Knights. This decision later affected the Panthers. The Golden Knights defeated the Panthers in the 2023 Stanley Cup Final. Marchessault won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.
The 2017–18 season started slowly for the Panthers. However, they had a strong finish, winning 25 of their last 35 games. They ended up just one point short of making the playoffs.
On April 7, 2019, the Panthers fired Boughner. They had missed the playoffs for the third season in a row. The next day, Joel Quenneville became the new head coach. Longtime goalie Roberto Luongo retired after the 2018–19 season. To replace him, Tallon signed Sergei Bobrovsky, a two-time Vezina Trophy winner.
On August 10, 2020, Dale Tallon left his role as general manager. This happened after the team was eliminated from the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs. During Tallon's time, the Panthers made the playoffs three times but never advanced past the first round.
Becoming Champions (2020–Present)
Return to Playoffs (2020–2022)
The Panthers hired Bill Zito as their new general manager on September 2, 2020. In the shortened 2020–21 season, the Panthers finished second in their division. They played against their rival, the Tampa Bay Lightning, in the first round of the 2021 playoffs. The Lightning won the series in six games and went on to win the Stanley Cup.
In the 2021–22 season, coach Quenneville led the Panthers to a great start. However, he resigned on October 28, 2021, due to a past scandal. Andrew Brunette was named interim head coach. On April 3, 2022, the Panthers became the first team to secure a playoff spot. They broke their franchise record for wins in a season. Three weeks later, they won the Atlantic Division title for the first time since 2016. They also clinched the Presidents' Trophy for the first time. This award goes to the team with the best regular season record. The Panthers finished the season with 122 points, their best record ever. On May 13, the Panthers won a playoff series for the first time in 26 years. They beat the Washington Capitals in six games. However, they were swept by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the second round.
Three Straight Finals and Back-to-Back Cups (2022–Present)
After being swept by the Lightning, general manager Bill Zito hired Paul Maurice as the new head coach on June 22, 2022. Later that summer, the Panthers made a big trade. They sent star forward Jonathan Huberdeau and defenseman MacKenzie Weegar to the Calgary Flames. In return, they received forward Matthew Tkachuk. This trade was a success for the Panthers.
For the 2022–23 season, the Panthers faced injuries. Despite this, they gained momentum and made the playoffs as the second wild card team. They faced the record-breaking Boston Bruins in the first round. The Panthers were big underdogs and were down 3–1 in the series. But they won game 5 in overtime and game 6 at home to tie the series. In game 7, the Panthers scored a tying goal with less than a minute left. Then, Carter Verhaeghe scored in overtime to win the game 4–3. This was a huge upset!
In the second round, the Panthers continued their winning streak. They defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs in five games. The Panthers then played their longest game ever on May 18 against the Carolina Hurricanes. They won 3–2 in quadruple overtime, with Matthew Tkachuk scoring the winning goal. The Panthers then swept the Hurricanes in four games. This was the first time the Panthers had ever swept a playoff series. They advanced to the 2023 Stanley Cup Final, where they lost to the Vegas Golden Knights in five games.
For the 2023–24 season, many expected the Panthers to do worse. However, they had another successful season. They finished with 110 points. Star center Sam Reinhart scored 57 goals. The Panthers won the Atlantic Division title for the third time. Captain Aleksander Barkov became the team's all-time points leader. In the 2024 playoffs, the Panthers beat the Tampa Bay Lightning in five games. In the next round, they beat the Boston Bruins in six games. In the conference finals, they won against the New York Rangers in six games. This sent them to the Stanley Cup Finals for the second year in a row. They defeated the Edmonton Oilers in seven games to win their first Stanley Cup in team history!
In the 2024–25 season, the Panthers finished third in their division. They dealt with some injuries late in the season. In the first round of the playoffs, they again faced the Tampa Bay Lightning and won in five games. In the second round, they beat the Toronto Maple Leafs in seven games. In the conference finals, Florida faced the Carolina Hurricanes again. They won the series in five games, reaching their third straight conference championship. In the Stanley Cup Finals, the Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers in a rematch of the previous year. They won in six games to claim their second straight Stanley Cup!
Team Identity
Logos, Colors, and Uniforms
The Florida Panthers have had two main logos. Their first logo, used from 1993 to 2016, showed a panther leaping. Other logos from that time included a panther holding broken hockey sticks and a sun with a palm tree and hockey stick. The leaping panther logo is now an alternate logo. The current main logo, used since 2016, is a shield. It shows a panther head with the word "Florida" or "Panthers" above it.
The Panthers' first uniforms were used from 1993 to 2007. The red road and white home jerseys had the leaping panther logo. They also had the palm tree logo on the shoulders. Yellow and navy blue were used as accent colors.
In 1998, the Panthers added a navy blue alternate uniform. It featured the leaping panther holding broken hockey sticks. Before the 2003–04 season, the navy uniform became the main home jersey. The red uniform became an alternate.
In 2007, the Panthers updated their uniforms. The navy and white jerseys had thicker stripes and added piping.
In 2009, the Panthers showed a new navy alternate uniform. It had a round logo with a panther head and the team name. Powder blue replaced red as a trim color. This uniform was used for three seasons.
Before the 2011–12 season, the Panthers went back to wearing red uniforms at home.
The Panthers completely changed their look before the 2016–17 season. They replaced yellow with a flat gold color. The red uniforms have the shield logo with the team name. The white uniforms use the logo with the state name. An alternate logo with the flag of Florida and a crawling panther is on the sleeves. Both sets have thick stripes on the chest and sleeves.
For the 2020–21 season, the Panthers released a "Reverse Retro" alternate uniform. It was a recolored version of their original 1990s uniform. It was navy blue with flat gold accents. A second "Reverse Retro" uniform was also released. It used the same 1990s design but in powder blue. It featured the palm tree, sun, and stick logo.
Mascots
The Panthers have two mascots: Stanley C. Panther and Viktor E. Ratt.
Stanley C. Panther is a large, human-like Florida panther. He is the team's official mascot. He is named after the Stanley Cup. Stanley C. Panther was introduced during the 1995–96 season. A five-year-old fan named Darrel Ambrosini came up with his name.
Viktor E. Ratt was introduced in October 2014. He honors the team's 1996 Stanley Cup Final run. During that time, fans threw rubber rats onto the ice after goals. Viktor E. Ratt is a human-like rat.
Broadcasting
Television
The Panthers' games are shown on TV in South Florida. In July 2024, the Panthers made a deal with Scripps Sports. Scripps' station WSFL-TV in Miami-Fort Lauderdale is the main channel for Panthers games. Other Scripps stations also show games in different Florida markets. Fans can also stream games on Panthers+.
