NHL will honor Douglas hockey at its awards show. Two Panthers could win big, too.

The NHL announced Monday that it will recognize three groups that received immense support from the hockey community following tragedies during its annual awards ceremony Wednesday night: the Marjory Stoneman Douglas hockey team, the first responders from the Las Vegas shooting and the surviving members of the Humboldt Broncos junior team.

The Douglas club hockey team won the Florida state championship days after the Feb. 14 shooting at its Parkland high school that killed 14 classmates and three faculty members. Jaime Guttenberg, the sister of junior varsity member Jesse Guttenberg, was one of the 17 victims.
