Sergei Bobrovsky donates $100,000 to Florida arena employees
'Goalie Bob' is making north of $10,000,000 playing net for the Florida Panthers this season and with the news of a temporary shut down, Bobrovsky has opened up his cheque book and pulled off an amazing gesture, donating $100,000 to the employees effected by the Coronavirus shut down.

Amazing move by the Panthers goaltender, as he joins a slew of NBA stars who have also done the very same thing. Look for more players to chime in and for ownership groups to get on board, to ensure the part time hourly staff who are out of work, are compensated through this very strange time.and FLA ownership has pledged to make sure any further outstanding amounts are taken care of, too. Fantastic by all levels.— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) March 13, 2020
