from Sarah Talalay of the Sun-Sentinel,
The two Boca Raton businessmen taking control of the Florida Panthers said Friday they plan to bring a wininng culture, accountability and strong leadership to a hockey team that has lacked those qualities for years.
In their first public comments since Alan Cohen agreed to cede majority ownership, Cliff Viner and Stu Siegel said they have opened lines of communication between the team’s business and hockey operations. They promise to be accessible to team employees and fans and to create a stronger relationship with Broward County, Sunrise and other South Florida officials.
“I think it starts from the top,” said Siegel, who oversees the Panthers Foundation and works regularly in his BankAtlantic Center office. “As much as we like to think we’ve been the ultimate professional organization, I think that in some ways from a leadership standpoint we may have failed in that.”
