The NHL has suspended Florida Panthers minority owner Doug Cifu from any involvement with the team or the league after a series of offensive social media posts Sunday night.
My behavior does not reflect the standards of the Florida Panthers organization and the Viola family.
On X, Cifu's feed contained messages of support for Israel and had five Israeli flags in his bio, along with the statement "all tweets mine."
"The NHL has concluded that Mr. Cifu's X posts were unacceptable and inappropriate," the league said in a statement.
The Panthers are the defending Stanley Cup champions and are tied 2-2 in their second-round series with Toronto.
