'Paul has resolutely led our organization to unprecedented success during his relatively short tenure in South Florida,' Panthers president of hockey operations and general manager Bill Zito said in a press release. 'He is a superb communicator and leader for our staff and players, possessing a keen strategic mind for the game. We are excited for Paul and his staff to continue to keep the Florida Panthers as a destination franchise for the foreseeable future.'
The Panthers have reached the Stanley Cup Final in both of Maurice's first two seasons with the team - losing in five games to the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023 before winning it all in 2024 by beating the Edmonton Oilers in seven games.
Maurice has coached the second-most games all-time in NHL history, with 1,855 entering Tuesday. He trails just Scotty Bowman, who coached 2,141 games.
