Meet 5 Florida Panthers players at Dania Beach

Florida Panthers fans who haven’t yet had the chance to meet their favorite players are in luck.

The new 2024 Stanley Cup champions continue to provide matchmaking opportunities throughout South Florida.

Coming up: Two autograph sessions are scheduled for Saturday, June 29, and Monday, July 1, at Hollywood Collectibles, 1300 Stirling Road, #1-C, Dania Beach. But be warned, you must purchase tickets for these events — and the sooner you buy, the better.

“There is a limit of 100 photo ops and 400 autograph tickets (per player),” said store owner Andrea Altman. “Order in advance to guarantee a ticket.”

THE SCHEDULE

SATURDAY:

Brandon Montour and Nick Cousins at 1 p.m.
Ryan Lomberg at 3pm

Monday:

Sam Bennett and Evan Rodrigues, from 5 p.m.

HOW IT WORKS?

Tickets for autograph and photo sessions range from $40 to $60 for each player and can be purchased at hollywoodcollectibles.com. Bring items or purchase unsigned merchandise (such as pucks and 8×10 pictures) in the store for autographs.

A separate ticket is required for each item you wish to have signed, as well as for each photo taken with a player (up to four people can be included). Available add-ons include Beckett authentication for each item signed in-store ($10) and for personalized inscription with the autograph ($20).

Fans will be able to pick up their tickets at the store starting at 9am on Saturday and 2pm on Monday, and will then be placed in line according to their ticket numbers approximately 30 minutes before each signing session.

“All tickets are numbered, so the earlier you order, the lower your ticket number will be,” Altman said. “All orders will be drawn in the order we receive them.”

Keep in mind that the lines will be outside, “so dress accordingly,” Altman said. “Bring water, chairs and umbrellas to ease the heat.”

Can’t make it to the autograph sessions? Deposits of items to be signed will be accepted until 5pm on Friday.

And if your favorite player isn’t in the lineup this time, don’t worry.

“We are announcing more players as we sign contracts. Check out our social media,” Altman said. “We love connecting with fans and bringing them a great experience.”
