Earlier this week we saw a dog drop the puck in Anaheim. Now Florida’s getting in on the celebratory puck drop action after a group of Navy SEALs rappelled from the rafters and dropped the puck before the Panthers game.
U.S. Navy SEALs rappelled from the rafters to drop the puck before the Florida Panthers game
This is new!
Yep, that’s four Navy SEALs — in full gear no less — rappelling down from the ceiling of the BB&T Center.
The event kicked off the Panthers’ “Military Appreciation Night” celebrations with Veterans Day just around the corner.
The Panthers do have a history with the military. Their owner, Vincent Viola, is a graduate of the United States Military Academy. Florida’s new jerseys and logo are homages to the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army, of which Viola was a member of. The Panthers also played a preseason game at West Point this year!
