FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – The Florida Panthers are a team on the rise, entering what they hope is an extended period of relevance and playoff appearances in the NHL.
While the season gets underway in less than a month, the team announced an off-ice partnership on Tuesday that will have its players feeling like the superstars that they are expected to become.
The Panthers and Eastern Airlines have entered a leasing partnership, announcing a customized 737-700 aircraft which will transport the team across two nations as they play out their 82-game schedule.
The charter plane is outfitted with a Panthers logo, an American Flag and a #FlaPanthers hashtag decal on the winglet.
