Special thanks to my big favorite and inspiration, Stanley C. Panther for the extra time he spent with me! There's truly no mascot like him, going the extra mile for his fans like me!

Stanley C. Panther has a very special place in my heart and went great lengths to make sure to provide me with some extra magical moments. Back in 2006, I came from Switzerland to attend a Panthers game during my Florida vacation - and randomly met Stanley – without even knowing before that a mascot would be present. I had no idea about mascots as mascotting isn’t that big in my country. That random moment of meeting Stanley C. Panther would have a lasting impact on me. I was born with a birth defect called Congenital Varicella Syndrome that has relying me on a feeding tube. Up until 2014, this condition caused me to be bedridden for up to 150 days a year. During this time, after my 1st visit to a Panthers game, I began to research about Stanley C. Panther and mascots in general and found out what they do in the community. Watching Stanley’s heartwarming content that often had him visit little kids in hospitals, do charity work or attend birthday parties, helped me smile during a difficult time of my life. That‘s why he‘s so special to me, that‘s why I‘m so thankful for what he does to me & others! Thank you so much, Stanley, for all these little magical moments, the joy and smiles you spread to me during this weekend! You are truly South Florida’s Coolest Cat!

Let’s Go PANTHERS!

Who was the most valuable mascot? Let me guess. It was Carleton.

I'd love to see the CHL do something like this around Memorial Cup time, I'm from Halifax Nova Scotia. It'd be great to see the mascots from the CHL do stuff like this, like seeing my hometown mascot Hal from the Halifax Mooseheads play street hockey with other mascots from the QJMHL or CHL.

I watched period 2 and 3 on NJ Devils TikTok so I skipped those if that’s fine
