The Florida Panthers play in the Southeast division of the National Hockey League's Eastern Conference.
In June of 2009, Sports Properties Acquisition Corp. reportedly agreed to purchase the team and their arena for $240 million. The deal will need to be approved by 75% of the league owners before it can be completed.ESPN.com: Report: Group Agrees to Buy Panthers
Early History
The Panthers joined the NHL in 1993 as the 26th team in the league. Originally started by Blockbuster Video founder Wayne Huizenga, the team first played at Miami Arena.Championship Run
After failing to reach the playoffs their first two years in the league, the Panthers entered the 1996 Stanley Cup Playoffs following a 41-31-10 regular season record. They defeated the Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins in the first three rounds to reach the finals. In their first ever appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals, the Panthers fell to the Colorado Avalanche, four games to none.Moving North
The Panthers left Miami in 1998 for their newly built Bank Atlantic Center arena, outside of Fort Lauderdale. In the years since the move, the Panthers have reached the post season only once, where they were swept by the New Jersey Devils in the first round of the 2000 Stanley Cup Playoffs.Legend of the Rats
While the team was still playing in Miami in 1995, the arena was ambushed by a pack of rats. Before a October 8, 1995, game, Panthers right wing Scott Mellanby killed one of the creatures with a "one-timer" shot in the team locker room. This began a tradition of fans throwing plastic rats on the ice following a goal or great game.-
