When you win back-to-back Stanley Cups, you don’t just celebrate — you go big. And the Florida Panthers took that to heart during a wild night in Miami that racked up a $500,000 tab at E11EVEN nightclub.
But here’s the kicker: not a single player opened their wallet. During a poolside appearance on the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast this week, star forward Matthew Tkachuk spilled the behind-the-scenes details of the unforgettable evening, cracking jokes alongside teammate Sam Reinhart and Boston Bruins winger Brad Marchand. It wasn’t just a party — it was a memory built for champions.
Matthew Tkachuk reveals how the Stanley Cup champs partied in Miami with Rick Ross, champagne showers, and a $500,000 comped bill at E11EVEN nightclub
The Florida Panthers’ off-ice celebration reached its peak last week in Miami, where the newly crowned champs kicked things off at the upscale restaurant Maple & Ash.
From there, the night exploded into full-blown revelry as the team rolled into E11EVEN — a nightclub famous for its high-energy atmosphere and A-list clientele.Matthew Tkachuk, speaking on the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast on Monday, didn’t hesitate when asked about the now-infamous tab. “It was a $500K comp,” he said, laughing as he remembered the night. He recalled the entire team living it up with champagne, bottle service, and one show-stopping centerpiece — a 15-liter bottle of Belaire, gifted to the team by rapper Rick Ross himself.
One of the funnier moments of the night actually came after the party had started to wind down. Marchand, who had tagged along for the fun, was caught on video trying to get back into the club after the team had left. Tkachuk joked, “I thought he was going back to pay the bill,” adding that even Marchand was stunned to find the whole thing had already been taken care of — entirely on the house.According to TMZ Sports, the entire Miami leg of the Panthers’ victory tour was nothing short of legendary.
With no games for months and a second straight Stanley Cup in their possession, the team had every reason to turn things up to eleven — quite literally.
For the Florida Panthers, the Stanley Cup win came with memories, mayhem, and a Miami night they’ll never forget
It wasn’t just about the money — it was about the moment. The Florida Panthers, fresh off one of the most dominant postseason runs in recent NHL history, showed the world what it means to celebrate in style. With the 2025–26 season still on the horizon, they’ve got time to soak it all in.“We’re just enjoying it while we can,” Tkachuk said, poolside and grinning, a sentiment every champion team dreams of reaching. When you’re on top of the hockey world, the drinks — and the memories — are truly priceless.Also Read: Florida Panthers steal the show from Lionel Messi with Stanley Cup twist at Club World Cup
