AHL and ECHL affiliates that are part of each Florida club's development system are nested under the parent NHL category. The NHL established a permanent Florida footprint with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 1992 and Florida Panthers in 1993. Tampa Bay became a Stanley Cup champion in 2004 and again in 2020 and 2021, while Florida reached the 1996 Stanley Cup Final before winning back-to-back championships in 2024 and 2025.
