CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) — Brian Boyle has a rule: No golfing during hockey season.
His clubs have now been put away — finally.
The Florida Panthers had Boyle on the ice for practice for the first time Monday, one day after the veteran and well-traveled center signed a $940,000, one-year deal with the club. The plan is for the 6-foot-6 Boyle to make his debut with the Panthers on Tuesday when they host Pittsburgh.
Boyle wasn’t in training camp with any clubs while waiting for some team to make him an offer. He talked with plenty of teams, and Florida got the deal done on Sunday.
