“Participation in youth hockey in the South Florida region is at an all-time high,” John Colombo, director of the Florida Panthers Foundation said in a statement.

“We’re so excited to offer this doubleheader game action to support that growth. Many families with young athletes have faced hardships in the past 18 months and we’re hoping that allocations of these funds through scholarships and more can help keep young hockey players on the ice.”

According to the Panthers, six rinks in South Florida offer team-supported introductory hockey programs: ‘Learn To Play’ and ‘Adult Learn To Play.’

The Panthers have also supported the expansion of their floorball hockey program to over 350 schools in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.

The Florida Panthers Alumni Association has also awarded $7,500 to 10 youth hockey players from seven different associations for fall youth hockey travel season from the Florida Fury, Palm Beach Breakers, Palm Beach Hawks, Coral Springs Makos, Miami Toros, Florida Warriors and Florida Alliance.

The Panthers will play four of its seven exhibition games at BB&T Center including the doubleheader against the Predators.

Florida will also play host to the Dallas Stars (Oct. 1) and Tampa Bay Lightning (Oct. 9).

The Panthers will stay in state and visit the Lighting in Orlando on Oct. 5 and Tampa on Oct. 7.
