FOX Sports Florida, the regional television home of the Florida Panthers hockey team, announced Craig Minervini has joined its roster of Panthers on-air talent for the 2015-16 season. In his new role, Minervini will return to the broadcast as host, a position he previously held with the Panthers from 2003-12.

Currently, Minervini serves as pre-and-postgame host, as well as reporter, on FOX Sports Florida’s Miami Marlins broadcasts. Alongside play-by-play announcer Steve “Goldie” Goldstein, color analyst Denis Potvin and analyst Randy Moller, Minervini will provide a seasoned and familiar voice to Panthers’ television broadcasts.

A Huntington, N.Y. native, Minervini has called South Florida home for many years. He is an Emmy Award winner and proud alumnus of Syracuse University, where he graduated with a degree in broadcast journalism.

Minervini worked for WWF as a commentator/interviewer in 1987-88. He also had a part in the Kevin James movie “Here Comes the Boom” in 2012.
