Florida Panthers Announce Quarter-Century Teams

The NHL recently unveiled the Florida Panthers' Quarter-Century All-Star Teams, recognizing the top players from the franchise since January 1, 2000. Notable selections include Aleksander Barkov, Jonathan Huberdeau, and Matthew Tkachuk on the first team, while Olli Jokinen and Robert Svehla were included on the second team. Barkov, the franchise leader in multiple categories, captained the Panthers to their first Stanley Cup last season, while Roberto Luongo, the Hall of Famer, was named the first-team goalie. The selection process involved votes from media, retired players, and executives, and will lead to a league-wide fan vote for the NHL Quarter-Century Team. The full first team also features defensemen Aaron Ekblad and Gus Forsling, with Luongo earning recognition for his historic goaltending achievements. The announcement highlights the Panthers' significant players over the past 25 years as they continue to build on their recent success.
