For goaltender Roberto Luongo, this achievement couldn’t have gone to any other player that has stepped in and played for the Florida Panthers.
Through the years, Luongo has been a fan favorite, whether presently on the Cats or not. His impact for the South Florida community goes way beyond his play on the ice, which has touched the hearts of many, including myself.
On Saturday, March 7, 2020, against the Montreal Canadiens, the Panthers will retire Roberto Luongo’s No. 1 jersey at the BB&T Center before the puck is officially dropped.
