BILLY HITS THE BOOKS

The Summer Reading Tour welcomed two more special guest readers this past week.
Hoping to inspire children to pick up a book and also put on a pair of skates, original Panther forward Billy Lindsay and FOX Sport Florida's Steve Goldstein read hockey-themed books to large groups of excited, wide-eyed kids at local libraries in Sunrise and Pembroke Pines.
"We're getting them excited about reading and hopefully about hockey, too," said Lindsay, who currently works as a radio and television analyst. "It's good to get them involved that way, with the reading and the hockey books. It's been great to be involved. It's a joy to be around kids."

Lindsay was tasked with reading "Dino-Hockey" by Lisa Wheeler, a 30-page book detailing a heated matchup between rival dinosaur hockey teams: the Meat-Eaters and the Veggiesaurs.
"There were some big dinosaur names that I got corrected on," laughed Lindsay.
In conjunction with Broward County Libraries, the Panthers will make one stop on the reading tour this week, visiting the Southwest Regional Library in Pembroke Pines on Wednesday, July 17. The event will run from 2:30-5:30 p.m. and will feature a guest reader and games outside.
With 10 total stops currently scheduled from June through August, future dates and more information regarding this year's tour can be found at
