The NHL and the Panthers hope this event will put all the participants in the Guinness World Records for the largest one-day street hockey championship.
"This is what we always envisioned, and this is always what we wanted. We're back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions, and we're really excited to be able to host something like this and take a shot at breaking the record."
John Colombo, the Florida Panthers Vice President of the Florida Panthers Foundation and Community Relations, said.
"I say this all the time, we're not trying to look for the next Tkachuk or the next star. We're just trying to help people feel like there's a gateway into hockey and feel connected."
Rob Knesaurek, the NHL senior vice president of industry growth and hockey development, said.
The event will have player seating, several hockey rinks, and endless space for fans to watch the day-long event.
