Sunrise, Florida – In succession, you can establish tradition.
For the Florida Panthers, one of their new traditions can happen to accompany tennis icons.
Welcome to the team, Martina Navratilova.
For the second year in a row, the 18th Grand Slam champions party with the Panthers at the Stanley Cup celebration. This time I met the team on Thursday at Maple & Ash in Miami.
“It’s a good tradition for her to come and have her come and take photos,” Captain Alexander Barkov said in an exit interview at the Amerant Bank Arena on Saturday. “that’s great.”
Now tradition actually started by chance.
Last year, Navratilova, who became the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2000, had just won his first cup at the same restaurant as the Panthers, who just beat the Edmonton Oilers in Game 7, and was celebrating his birthday.
The Panthers not only invited her to take a photo, but also left Lord Stanley.
