The Miami Herald reported this weekend Stu Siegel may take over running The Florida Panthers, a NHL franchise hockey team.

I really hope this happens!

Stu is already a partner in Sunrise, Sports and Entertainment which owns the Bank Atlantic Center, the Panthers, and another hockey facility. Stu is a good friend, plays on a hockey team now, and has always been his dream to run a NHL club. Now it looks like that is going to happen.

One other thing I also know about Stu, that I’m sure will be an interest to the Panthers. He’s a winner.

Go get ’em Stu!!
