Florida Panthers

The cold-weather sport's growth in Florida has made the National Hockey League take notice, as the sport's market here has gone from afterthought to unavoidable.

The Florida Panthers have signed Wayne Gretzky, Martina Navratilova, Michael Bublé, Dustin Johnson, and the Miami Heat for a unique project. They unveiled painted panther statues before their Winter Classic game against the New York Rangers. These statues are being auctioned to raise $1 million for cancer research.

The National Hockey league has hosted 43 outdoor games in its history. But none are as ambitious as this week's matchup at the Marlins' home stadium LoanDepot Park in Miami.

The NHL announced that the Florida Panthers will play host to the New York Rangers at loanDepot Park in Miami on Jan. 2, 2026, in the Winter Classic, with the Tampa Bay Lightning playing host to the Boston Bruins at Raymond James Stadium on Feb. 1, 2026, in a Stadium Series game.
