         CONGRATULATING FLORIDA PANTHERS ON STANLEY CUP VICTORY

  (Mrs. CHERFILUS-McCORMICK asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. CHERFILUS-McCORMICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
the new 2024 Stanley Cup champions, the Florida Panthers. I proudly 
introduced a resolution commending the team for this historic win.
  June 24, 2024, will forever be reminders of a monumental day for 
south Florida. For the first time in their 30-year franchise history, 
the Florida Panthers have won the Stanley Cup, defeating the Edmonton 
Oilers 2-1 in an exhilarating game 7.
  For 30 seasons, Florida Panthers fans, myself included, have eagerly 
waited to see our favorite team raise the Stanley Cup. Led by the 
outstanding performance of Captain Aleksander Barkov and Head Coach 
Paul Maurice, our Panthers showcased the very best of south Florida's 
competitive spirit.
  I also want to pay tribute to the devoted Panthers fans. Their 
unwavering support and enthusiasm were crucial in propelling the 
players forward game after game to finally finish the hunt.
  I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the players, coaches, staff, 
and the entire Panthers organization. Let's bring the cup home again 
next year.
  As always, go Cats.
