According to Miami-based sports reporter Andy Slater of FOX Sports 640, an unnamed employee was let go by the team after a photo revealed the Panthers new center ice design which modeled the top of the Stanley Cup, which Florida is the current holder.
According to Slater, the Panthers were planning to unveil the design before an image of the ice appeared on social media. The image appears to have first been revealed by David Rodriguez of the 'FLA Cats Hockey Podcast'.
