This facility includes two NHL-regulation sized ice rinks, Pantherland powered by FLA Team Shop, a 7,500 sq. ft Florida Panthers Flagship retail location and dedicated hockey and figure skating pro shop, ‘The Federal’, a full-service restaurant and bar with outdoor patio, 11 locker rooms, three multi-use party rooms and more. The Baptist Health IcePlex serves as the practice facility for the Florida Panthers and a community hub for Fort Lauderdale’s Holiday Park, bringing in families from all over the tri-county area to enjoy a robust variety of youth and adult programming options, curling, public skating, ice hockey, figure skating and more.
