The Florida Jr. Panthers are representatives of the Florida Panthers and hold the same organizational 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 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 tryouts in May. The season includes team practices 3 times a week and travel games on the weekend at rinks located throughout Florida (including Panthers IceDen and Baptist Health IcePlex) and throughout the country. 

Girls Florida Jr. Panthers
