Panthers Special Advisor to the GM and Hockey Hall of Famer voted by fans as one of NHL’s best 25 players from 2000 to 2025
SUNRISE, Fla.– The National Hockey League announced today the goaltenders named to the NHL Quarter-Century Team, chosen from all players who played from Jan. 1, 2000, to Dec. 31, 2024. Panthers Special Advisor to the General Manager Roberto Luongo, a first-ballot Hall of Famer and Stanley Cup champion as part of Florida’s management group in 2023-24, is one of six goaltenders voted by fans as part of the 25-man squad, joining Marc-Andre Fleury, Martin Brodeur, Patrick Roy, Carey Price and Henrik Lundqvist.
In the first quarter of the 21st century, Luongo placed at or near the top of the league in multiple goaltending statistics:
Luongo’s career highlights include six NHL All-Star Game appearances (2003-04, 2014-2015 and 2015-16 with Florida, 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09 with Vancouver) and he was a finalist for the Vezina Trophy three times (2003-04 with Florida, 2006-07 and 2010-11 with Vancouver), the Hart Memorial Trophy once (2006-07) and the Bill Masterton Trophy once (2017-18).
The Montreal, Quebec native owns the all-time Panthers franchise goaltending records for games played (572), wins (230), shutouts (38), saves (16,086), assists/points (13), single-season games played by a goaltender (75, 2005-06), single-season saves (2,303) and single-season shutouts (tied-7, 2003-04). Luongo’s 2,303 saves in the 2006-07 campaign remains the post-1967 expansion record for most saves in a single season, posting a .931 save percentage and 2.43 goals against average that year with Florida.
On the international stage, Luongo is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, helping Team Canada to gold medals in 2010 and 2014. In his career with Canada at the IIHF World Championship, Luongo earned gold at the 2003 and 2004 tournaments and captured gold with his home country at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey.
Luongo’s No. 1 is the only player number retired by the Panthers.
