Panthers Intermission Skate
"What a great experience!!!"
It might have only been three minutes, but what a awesome three minutes it would be.  Twenty female hockey players took the ice April the
5th during the 1st intermission of the Panthers / Thrashers game.  
The entire experience was amazing.  From the arrival at the arena at 5:30, bag checks at security, professional locker room assignment
and watching the pre-game warm up at ice level, the anxiety continued to build.  Stepping on the ice in front of 1000's of Panther fans who
actually turned around from their concession hunt when a women's hockey team was announced, was awesome!  It might have only been
three minutes of hockey with Stanley C. Panther as the referee, but  with family and friends in attendance it was a night few of us will ever
forget and three minutes of hard work and glory for us.  
Thank you Florida Panthers.
