According to a statement by the Florida Panthers organization, Chris Pronger is leaving the club, and for that matter, the NHL. They posted their thanks to the former defenseman, now executive who will be putting his efforts into building his family’s travel business.
The statements reads:
“We want to thank Chris for his invaluable contributions to the Florida Panthers organization,” the team said in a statement. “Since joining our hockey operations staff in 2017, Chris approached his role with great passion and provided our team with a fresh and unique perspective. A true professional, champion and proud family man, we wish Chris, Lauren and the Pronger family the very best in their new business endeavor, Well Inspired Travels.”
Pronger, 45, was working with the Panthers as a Senior Advisor to President of Hockey Operations, a position he took in June of 2017.
“I want to personally thank the Viola family, Doug Cifu, Dale Tallon and all of the staff with the Florida Panthers,” Pronger said. He added, “I was able to grow as an executive and more importantly as a person in my three years with the hockey club. I wish the Panthers organization nothing but the best in the upcoming playoffs and years to come.”
