NHL's State Income Tax Debate Heats up with Panthers Back in Stanley Cup Final

  • The Florida Panthers reached Game 3 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final on June 9 in Sunrise, Fla., playing against the Edmonton Oilers.
  • This event re-ignited debate about state income tax advantages after several no-tax states, including Florida, produced recent Stanley Cup contenders and champions.
  • League officials and players note that decisions to play in certain cities involve multiple factors like team strength, coaching, and ownership rather than primarily tax issues.
  • Commissioner Bettman called the tax debate “ridiculous” and questioned subsidizing teams in high-tax markets, while analyst Paul Bissonnette urged addressing tax disparities in the next CBA.
  • Despite tax concerns raised by some franchises, the league and union maintain historic competitive imbalances and rising revenues make tax-related issues marginal at best.
