This lot features a Florida Panthers 1993 Inaugural Game Program. The 1993–94 Florida Panthers season was the Panthers' first season. Blockbuster Video magnate H. Wayne Huizenga was awarded an NHL franchise for his native Miami in 1992. The team played at the Miami Arena, and its first major stars were New York Rangers goaltender castoff John Vanbiesbrouck, rookie Rob Niedermayer, and Scott Mellanby, who scored 30 goals during the regular season.
The Panthers were surprisingly competitive for a first-year expansion team, and ultimately finished just one game below .500 and two[a] points short of qualifying for the 1994 Stanley Cup playoffs.
