The
National Hockey League All-Star Game is a mid-season
exhibition game held annually between many of the top players of each season. Twenty All-Star Games have been held since the Panthers entered the league in 1993, with at least one player chosen to represent the Panthers in each year except 1998 and 2011. The All-Star game has not been held in various years: 1979 and 1987 due to the
1979 Challenge Cup and
Rendez-vous '87 series between the NHL and the
Soviet national team, respectively, 1995, 2005, and 2013 as a result of labor stoppages, 2006, 2010, and 2014 because of the
Winter Olympic Games, and 2021 as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic.[18] Florida has hosted one of the games. The
53rd and
67th both took place at the
FLA Live Arena.
One member of the Panthers organization has been honored with the
Foster Hewitt Memorial Award. The award is presented by the
Hockey Hall of Fame to members of the radio and television industry who make outstanding contributions to their profession and the game of
ice hockey during their broadcasting career.[59]
