Keeping Up with The Cats

The Florida Panthers have had a busy offseason with a few
new acquisitions
, the
2018 NHL Draft
and
Free Agency
, but they're not the only ones making moves this summer.
The players have been sharing their summertime rad-ness with us on social media with photos from all over the world.

Before leaving South Florida for Finland, Aleksander Barkov made sure to channel his inner Karate Kid out on the beach in Fort Lauderdale.

But as we all know, Barky doesn't take many off days, even in the offseason. Once he got back home, he quickly showed off his superior hockey skills all in the #pursuitofgreatness.

Barky's pal
and fellow Florida Panthers forward Maxim Mamin has been having a lot of fun training this offseason. Between practicing his

, and working on his

, Mams found some time to exercise his brain… and his vocal cords. Who doesn't love playing sudoku while jamming out to Imagine Dragons?

The 23-year-old Russian also took part in the #kindnesscup with some fellow NHLers in Moscow, Russia in support of orphaned kids.

Speaking of Russia and soccer. How about the World Cup?
Forward Evgenii Dadonov made sure to take advantage of having one of the world's largest sporting spectacles in his home country by attending some of the games in Saint Petersburg.

Defenseman Aaron Ekblad took his travels to Europe this summer as a member of Team Canada for the 2018 IIHF World Championships in Denmark before heading down south for a scenic and relaxing vacation throughout Greece and Italy.

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic and back in North America, Jonathan Huberdeau celebrated his 25th birthday in style with some friends in Montreal…

…before enjoying the honor to be the first inductee into the Saint John's Sea Dogs Hall of Fame. Way to go Huby!

Newly acquired forward Mike Hoffman donned the Florida Panthers crest for the first time on a trip to the Grand River Hospital Foundation and Cancer Centre.

In other news, Mike Matheson popped the question to long-time girlfriend and 2018 Olympic Gold Medalist Emily Pfalzer (don't worry, she said yes). We'll be anxiously awaiting for our invite to the wedding, Mike!

To celebrate, hockey's power couple got themselves the sweetest good boy you'll ever see. We may be Cat people here, but 100/10 agree that this pup will melt your heart.

Now, we're not saying we've saved the best for last… but we saved the best for last.
Vincent Trocheck welcomed the newest member of the Florida Panthers family into the world, and, well, this may just be one of the cutest Panthers cubs we've ever seen.
World, meet Leonardo Vincent Trocheck - he is just precious. \heart eyes emoji\
