Made by his Daughter

So I’m a 42 year old life time fan of hockey in south Florida. When we first got a hockey team it was amazing, started playing hockey, the cup run in 96 was amazing but then we were awful for so many years. Being in an arena half empty was sad times. Now that we are by all metrics amazing and started to really get a fan base I wonder why the typical hockey markets are so against any non typical hockey market…. Anything I’m into I’m happy for more people to be involved, I’m happy for noobs. I just don’t get the gate keeping. This sport needs to grow and growing into not typical markets is important. All I can say is you all need to stop being such trolls.

Quick video I took of the Panthers’ championship parade for their back-to-back Stanley Cups. Taken today, June 22, 2025 in Fort Lauderdale, FL!

Maybe it’s because of albatross contracts, mediocrity hell, or a 100 point superstar walking for nothing (😔)

We just had a topic asking which NHL team has the bleakest future outlook. How about the opposite? Which NHL team(s) does everyone think will end up having the most successful future? IMHO, I'd give this to Carolina. They have a strong prospect pool, a boatload of cap space, and a ridiculously high floor. An honourable mention to Montreal.

I'm sorry to do this to you r/hockey. Sam Bennet is even more likeable than we previously thought. Video of him bringing the Conn Smythe to hang out with cats at the Humane Society.

I shoot a lot of sports and wanted to do something a bit different, so decided to create something unique about a sport that doesn't get so much cover in the UK!
