The Stanley Cup Finals are rolling on with the Florida Panthers one game away from securing back-to-back titles.

As the Panthers try to fend off the Edmonton Oilers, Brad Marchand made history as the first player to score five goals in two separate NHL Finals series with different teams.

It got us thinking: Who are the athlete’s with the best finals performance in South Florida history?

Let’s take a look at a few players:

Brad Marchand, Florida Panthers – 2025 Stanley Cup Finals

A history maker for the Panthers, Brad Marchand has the Florida Panthers one game away from repeating as Stanley Cup champions.

He scored two goals in Game 5, bringing his total to five goals in the NHL Finals. It marks the second time he’s scored five goals in a finals, doing so as a member of the Boston Bruins as well.

It’s a feat that’s never been accomplished by a single player for two separate teams.

Time will tell if he’ll make any more history as Game 6 rolls around.

Dwayne Wade, Miami Heat – 2006 NBA Finals

Before “Wade County” was known, a young Dwayne Wade helped rally the Miami Heat from a 2-0 deficit in the 2006 NBA Finals.

Wade averaged 34.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists during the finals, winning MVP behind his strong efforts. He averaged 39.25 in the last four games of the series, effectively sweeping the Dallas Mavericks after falling behind by two games.

Fast forward to present day and Wade’s legacy is commemorated with a statue and a history that’ll never be forgotten in the minds of Heat fans.
