Panthers Legends

The honour of becoming a Panthers Legend is reserved for those whose legacy is woven into the very fabric of the club.

Panthers Legends are individuals who shaped Panthers identity, defined its standards and inspired generations.

The highest accolade the club can bestow an individual remains inclusion in the Panthers Hall of Fame, honouring those whose service and achievements stand among the most distinguished in the club’s history.

In 2026, during the Panthers 60th Season celebrations, the club evolved its recognition program to ensure it fit the club’s proud and storied history.

As part of this evolution, all former members of the Team of Legends are formally recognised as Panthers Legends, preserving their revered status while uniting past, present and future honourees under one distinguished and enduring banner.

For the first time in the club’s history, administrators and coaches became eligible for this recognition, a powerful acknowledgment of those whose leadership, vision and dedication have equipped our players to challenge and triumph against the very best in the game.
