Florida Panthers entertaining Gulf Cost holiday makers

Hockey fans and sports enthusiasts staying in a Gulf Coast villa may wish to take a trip to a city just outside of Miami this month.

On October 10th and 16th, the Florida Panthers will be welcoming some of their biggest rivals from the National Hockey League (NHL) to their lair in Sunrise.

High-intensity action is guaranteed to unfold on the ice against east coast titans New Jersey Devils on the first date, before a visit from the Philadelphia Flyers on the second.

The Panthers are one of two Florida-based teams competing in the NHL and share a division with neighbours Tampa Bay Lightning.

Their group also contains the Washington Capitals, Atlanta Thrashers and Carolina Hurricans, so they will need a good start if they are to return to the post-season playoffs for the coveted Stanley Cup.

Florida Panthers have suffered a barren run in recent times, failing to quality for the playoffs in each of the previous four years.

They have won one and lost one of their opening two games of the 2009-10 season, so still have everything to play for.

Sports fans holidaying in Florida may also want to visit the Land Shark Stadium while in Florida, which is home to the Miami Dolphins.
