Maintenance Technician (Panthers IceDen)
About this role
Organization Overview:
The Florida Panthers enter their 33rd season in 2026-27 as one of the National Hockey League’s premier franchises. As back-to-back Stanley Cup champions in 2024 and 2025, the Cats have emerged victorious in 11 of their past 12 postseason series and have captured four Eastern Conference championships. The Panthers are led by President of Hockey Operations & General Manager Bill Zito entering his seventh season, and President of Business Operations Michael White who begins his first full season.
As the NHL’s southernmost team, the Panthers operate four facilities in Broward County, Florida: Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise; the Panthers IceDen in Coral Springs; the state-of-the-art Baptist Health IcePlex in Fort Lauderdale; and the renovated War Memorial Auditorium, which hosts concerts and events for the South Florida faithful year-round.
An organization with deep roots in the community, the Panthers are owned by Vincent J. Viola, a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and a veteran of the U.S. Army. Emphasizing a culture of selfless service both on and off the ice, the Panthers pillar program, “Heroes Among Us,” honors a United States military veteran at every game. The Florida Panthers Foundation focuses on four core pillars: veterans’ affairs; children’s health and education; raising awareness for the endangered Florida Panther; and growing youth hockey throughout the region. The Panthers remain committed to empowering our fans to live sustainably and to strengthen the resiliency of our diverse communities throughout Florida and the tri-county area.

- Proficiency with hand tools, soldering, and basic fabrication (brazing/welding a plus)
- Ability to read and interpret blueprints and schematics
- Strong troubleshooting skills and attention to detail
- Reliable, team-oriented, and able to communicate clearly and professionally
- Flexibility to work nights, weekends, and holidays as needed
Why Join Us?
- You’ll be part of a team that keeps the Ice Den running day in and day out—supporting hockey development, community programs, and memorable experiences on the ice. This is a fast-paced, hands-on environment where your skills make a visible impact, and where you’ll have the opportunity to grow across multiple trades while being part of the Florida Panthers family.
Must be able to work flexible hours including nights, weekends, and occassional holidays as needed.
