Florida Panthers Celebrate 30th Anniversary

     The Florida Panthers celebrated their 30th anniversary of their inauguration into the National Hockey League on Saturday. The club would play their first regular season at Miami Arena in October 1993. 

     The decision came as a major surprise to people in attendance at The Breakers in Palm Beach on December 10, 1992. The NHL awarded a franchise to H. Wayne Huizenga and the South Florida region. They also gave a team to Anaheim that was headed by Walt Disney Company leader Michael Eisner.
