The Florida Panthers celebrate the Stanley Cup with a parade in Fort Lauderdale | 95.3 WDAE

The Florida Panthers, fresh off their first Stanley Cup win, were honored with a victory parade in Fort Lauderdale. Fans flooded the streets of Fort Lauderdale Beach and partied in the rain to celebrate the team’s first Stanley Cup.

As the Panthers’ motorcade of open-top buses passed by, players leaned sideways, waved to fans and raised the coveted Stanley Cup. The soaked trophy sank into the Atlantic Ocean and served as a symbol of years of hard work, determination and unwavering support from the Panthers faithful.

Local businesses joined in the celebration and decorated their windows with Panthers memorabilia. Cafes offered “Panther Power” drink specials and restaurants served hockey-themed dishes. Even the palm trees along the parade route sported miniature Panthers jerseys, a quirky touch that made onlookers smile.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert joined the parade as fans high-fived.

Fans cheered, waved banners and celebrated alongside their beloved Panthers as the city came alive with hockey pride. The parade culminated with a formal rally on stage, where players and fans reveled in the team’s historic achievement.
