The National Hockey League pre-season begins at BB&T Center in one month. The Florida Panthers play six pre-season home games at the rink before the regular season gets underway in early October.<\/p>\n

Our hotel is close to BB&T Center, with free breakfast and free WiFi. Take advantage of our make-your-own waffle bar, then grab a few rays by the pool before the game. We also invite you to enjoy our on-site restaurant, Marina 84 Sports Bar & Grill<\/a>. We\u2019re set up to do hockey right this year!<\/p>\n

The Panthers hope to make the playoffs in 2015 after finishing at the back-of-thepack the past two seasons. The team has added a new coach and veteran depth, to a squad loaded with recent high draft picks. Coach Gerard Gallant joins the team from Montreal, where he was their top assistant coach.<\/p>\n

Among the six free agents added the year, defenseman Willie Mitchell (Kings), center Dave Boland (Blackhawks) and forward Shawn Thornton (Bruins) all have Stanley Cup experience.<\/p>\n

Hopes are high the team can blend their established players with fresh faces Nick Bjugstad (center, #19 overall pick 2010), Johnathan Huberdeau (left wing, #3 overall pick 2011) and Aleksander Barkov (center, #2 overall pick 2013). Another defenseman, Erik Ekblad, was drafted #1 overall this year.<\/p>\n

Goalie Roberto Luongo is back, too. He finished strong last year after being acquired from Vancouver in March.<\/p>\n

There are 43 games on the Panthers home schedule, beginning with the Dallas Stars on Sept. 24 and ending with the New Jersey Devils on April 11.<\/p>\n

Regular season ticket prices <\/a>range from $15 to $120.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
