The 100 People of Power & Influence in hockey are featured in The Hockey News' 2026 Money & Power issue, available at THN.com/free.
At No. 64 is Florida Panthers GM Bill Zito.
Zito's swing-for-the-fences style has now delivered back-to-back Stanley Cups. Last year, he added Brad Marchand and Seth Jones, then he miraculously kept his key UFAs in the fold.
Each person on the list this year is ranked in 14 categories of job classification, from owners to players to agents, along with many more powerbrokers identified within various silos of expertise. That's all available to find in The Hockey News' 2026 Money & Power hockey business annual.
