About The Writers

Panther Parkway has many great writers, here they are.

Editor/Founder of Panther Parkway: Frank Rekas

Born and raised in Chicago, I grew up a Blackhawks fan. Still am and always will be. I am “committed to the Indian”. However since moving to South Florida in 1993 I have followed the Florida Panthers. I am a passionate fan of hockey and love to talk about it with anyone who will listen/put up with me. I have many great memories of my time in Chicago, and still have a brick from the old Chicago Stadium which was given to all season ticketholders after it was taken down.

I was the original writer for The Rat Trick, and am the founder of Panther Parkway. As a credentialed media member for the Florida Panthers, our focus will be on Panthers hockey, as well as other NHL news, and bring you tons of music videos. Mostly Bruce Springsteen, but you already know that.

Please comment often, and if you’d like to keep it private you can email me at therattrick@gmail.com.

Lead Writer: David Lasseter

I’m one of the rare people who were actually born and raised here in South Florida. Grew up on football and soccer until I discovered the NHL through video games in the early 90s and the heyday of the Sega Genesis. A few years later, the Florida Panthers were born and the fuse was lit! Now, this site gives me the opportunities to do one of the things I truly love: talking hockey. Also love talking about Florida Gator football, comics, music, movies and Star Wars.

Social Media/Editor/Staff Writer: Paige Lewis

I am a 22 year old who was born and raised in South Florida to a family full of hockey lovers. While I grew up an avid Pittsburgh Penguins fan, my heart will forever lie with the Florida Panthers. I interned with the Florida Panthers for two seasons as well as the New York Rangers. I stepped into a pair of hockey skates when I was 3 years old and have been hooked ever since. I am passionate about the sport and only wish to one day be a part of an NHL organization full-time.

I joined the Panther Parkway staff about two years ago where I began as a writer and a frequent guest on our website’s pod cast. Now, I currently take care of all the social media for our Facebook page, Twitter, and PantherParkway.com, as well as remain a frequent guest on Panther Parkway Radio. I am a credentialed media member and attend most Florida Panther games where I focus on everything hockey.

If you think you know more about hockey than I do, you can e-mail me at PeejLewis@yahoo.com or you can tweet me @PaigeLewisFL ….Try me.

Radio Producer: Josh Luecht

Growing up in South Florida it’s a twist to become an avid fan of a sport that has to do with ice…

Staff Writer: Scott Mullin

I’m a South Florida born and raised kid who loves to watch hockey. I only got my Panthers season tickets two years ago, but I’ve made a concerted effort to watch every game, home and away. The more games I’ve watched, the more I’ve learned about hockey and the right way to play it. Those glory days of Bure and Mellanby are faint in my memories: they were before my time. I’m looking forward to watching and writing about the playoff days again in Sunrise. Lord knows we could use some playoffs.
