The games will take place at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the BB&T Center in Sunrise.
On Tuesday, the Panthers announced that fans wishing to attend will be able to do so by making a donation to support the growth of local youth hockey.
A $10 donation will get fans access to both hockey games, and parking is included.
“Participation in youth hockey in the South Florida region is at an all-time high,” Senior Director of Community Relations and of the Florida Panthers Foundation John Colombo said in a statement released by the team. “We’re so excited to offer this doubleheader game action to support that growth. Many families with young athletes have faced hardships in the past 18 months and we’re hoping that allocations of these funds through scholarships and more can help keep young hockey players on the ice.”
