Florida isn’t just palm trees and beaches anymore — it’s the heart of modern hockey.
In this video, we explore how the Tampa Bay Lightning built a modern dynasty with back-to-back Stanley Cups and an almost 3-peat… and how the Florida Panthers shocked the world with back-to-back titles of their own.
From historic playoff runs to fan explosions in the Sunshine State, here’s how Florida quietly became the hockey capital of the world.
