Florida's executive branch was highlighted in The Hockey News' recent Money and Power issue

The Florida Panthers franchise has undergone an amazing turnaround over the past decade.

In the time since the team was bought by Vincent Viola in 2013, the Panthers have gone from a team that went over a decade between playoff appearances to one that is now a perennial playoff team and an consistent Stanley Cup Contender.

From top to bottom, the Panthers have become a franchise to be envied.

Florida has won a Presidents’ Trophy and reached the Stanley Cup Final over the past two seasons and is trending toward doing one or both of those things again this year.

Everything that the Panthers have become stems from the top.

Viola hired Matthew Caldwell as his CEO and Caldwell found Panthers General Manager Bill Zito.

It’s a chain of business decisions that brought the Panthers to where they are today.

The Hockey News discussed the Panthers’ ownership and management in its 2024 Money and Power edition, Volume 77, Issue 08, in a story written by Florida Hockey Now’s Colby Guy.
