Can you smell it? Hockey season is in the air.

We’re just a few short weeks away from the start of Florida Panthers training camp, when the defending Stanley Cup Champions will converge on Fort Lauderdale to begin working on their title defense.

Along with training camp comes the preseason, and the Panthers have a healthy eight-game slate of exhibition games to get them ready for Opening Night against the Boston Bruins on Oct. 8.
