Panthers Warriors Player To join The Panthers Warriors, a player must have been in any branch of the US Military, have served honorably, and have a disability as a result of active duty.  In order to play as a Panthers Warrior in either the USA Hockey Warrior Classic or the USA Hockey Disabled Festival, a player must meet the USA Hockey Warrior Hockey Eligibility Criteria.  Non-Disabled Veterans are also invited to join the Panthers Warriors Hockey Program where you will be able to attend practices, other games, tournaments (non-disabled), and our adult hockey league team.

Basic Panthers Warriors Player Requirements:

• Players Must be registered with USA Hockey.
• For safety reasons, all players must have basic Adult League equivalent hockey skills and skating ability (assessed by Panthers Warriors Hockey coaching staff).
• For Veterans who do not have ice hockey experience, but want to learn to skate or play hockey, the Florida Panthers offer a Learn to Skate and Learn to Play program.  Please let us know if you do not have any ice skating or hockey experience, but want to learn.  Send an email to edzito@pantherswarriors.org

• To register for the program, please download the New Player Package to the right.  Email the completed forms and a copy of your DD-214 & VA Award Letter (if applicable).
  • All Panthers Warriors must have a current USA Hockey membership (https://membership.usahockey.com/) in order to attend practices or play in any Panthers Warriors scrimmages or games.  (*If you are not USA Hockey registered, we suggest you wait until your registration is accepted before registering.)
