SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – Back in June, one of the best hockey players to ever hit the ice for the Florida Panthers announced his retirement.
On Monday, the organization revealed they would be honoring legendary goalie Roberto Luongo with his own jersey retirement ceremony.
It will be held during the March 7, 2020 game against the Montreal Canadiens.
Luongo will be the first Panthers player to have his jersey retired. The only other numbers retired by the franchise are No. 37 for Wayne Huizenga, who created and founded the Panthers, and No. 93 for the team’s first president Bill Torrey.
