Brandon Montour Left Undeniable Legacy on Stanley Cup Champion Panthers

Brandon Montour left an indelible mark on the 2024 Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, both on the ice and in the locker room.

The Florida Panthers locker room has been a little bit quieter this season.

Brandon Montour was a key part of the fabric that held the 2023 Cup-winning team together: He brought the energy, he was in charge of the locker room’s music, and perhaps most importantly, he brought the jokes.

And nobody was safe from being on the butt-end of one of them.

“It’s nice not to have my skates tied together before I go out on the ice or anything like that,” Aaron Ekblad, Montour’s former locker neighbor, joked during training camp.

Whenever someone walked in the Florida locker room, one could not avoid hearing some kind of chirp from either Montour or his good pal Nick Cousins. It kept the locker room light.

The Panthers will get to reunite with Montour and hand him his ring on Tuesday when they visit him and his Seattle Kraken.
