The Florida Junior Panthers, as representatives of the Florida Panthers, believe strongly as an organization in the values of teamwork, sportsmanship and leadership through example. The program’s overall goal of player development both on and off the ice relies heavily on our ability to create and maintain a safe, fun and positive environment for our players.
With ages ranging from 7-16 and divisions including A and AA, the travel hockey season runs from August to March with annual try outs in May. The season includes team practice 3 times a week and travel games on the weekend at the Panthers IceDen and other rinks in the state of Florida. Teams also participate in travel tournaments around the country.
