Goalie bringing goodwill to Florida
The Panthers are going to pay Tomas Vokoun a lot of money to stop pucks, with Vokoun earning an average of $5.7 million over the next four seasons. The goodwill he brings to South Florida is a bonus. In Nashville, Vokoun bought a luxury suite so the children with cancer could attend games throughout the season in a safe environment. After games, Vokoun played host to the children in the locker room and took time to visit and take pictures. Vokoun also recently bought one patient season tickets to Nashville games for the upcoming season. When Vokoun was injured last season, he chose to watch home games in his suite with the children. When he was in the hospital in 2006, the children created cards and had them delivered to his room.
