Florida Panthers to Be Honored at the White House for Their 2025 Stanley Cup Triumph

President Donald Trump will welcome the back-to-back NHL champions in Washington in recognition of their historic season and franchise excellence
The Florida Panthers, after securing the 2025 Stanley Cup, are scheduled to visit the White House on January fifteen for a ceremonial honour with President Donald Trump, continuing a longstanding tradition of United States championship sports teams being recognised by the presidency.

The event follows the Panthers’ repeat victory in the National Hockey League’s championship series against the Edmonton Oilers, in which Florida clinched their second consecutive Stanley Cup with a decisive performance at Amerant Bank Arena in June 2025. The visit underscores the team’s remarkable achievement as only the tenth franchise in league history to win back-to-back championships.

In addition to the White House engagement, the Panthers’ schedule sees them continuing their season, including important road games following the Washington visit.

Last season the club also brought its first Stanley Cup to the White House in early 2025, presenting President Trump with a framed jersey and a commemorative golden hockey stick — gestures emblematic of the team’s rapport with the administration and the celebratory nature of sporting success in American civic life.

The Panthers’ 2025 championship was led by standout performances across the roster and coaching staff, reflecting both strategic vision and on-ice excellence.

With leadership throughout the playoffs and pivotal contributions from key players, Florida solidified its place among the NHL’s elite.

The White House event is anticipated to highlight those accomplishments and pay tribute to the organisation’s sustained competitive strength.
