Pucks, Pens and Packed Lines: Tkachuk Brothers Take Over Wellington
Gloves Off, Pens Out and Fans Packed In Like a Goal Crease Scramble: Tkachuk Brothers Deliver in Wellington for Meet & Greet.
March 30th, 2026
The line started stacking up early and never really let off the gas. By the time Matthew Tkachuk and Brady Tkachuk took their spots behind the table on March 30 at Palm Beach Autographs inside The Mall at Wellington Green, the space had already turned into a full-on hockey hotspot.
Fans came ready to represent, and not quietly either. Panthers jerseys flooded the room in support of Matthew, while Team USA sweaters made sure Brady was getting plenty of love too. It felt less like a standard meet and greet and more like a playoff atmosphere without the ice, just tighter quarters and a whole lot more Sharpies.
The sold-out Gold Medal VIP experience kept things moving like a clean breakout pass. Jerseys, pucks and memorabilia slid across the table, each one signed and authenticated on-site by JSA. Still, nobody was rushing through the moment. Fans stepped up for their turn, shared quick stories, snapped photos and soaked in the chance to meet two brothers who helped bring Olympic gold back home.
For Jeff Zipper, the event carried a little extra meaning. As a board member of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission, he was there helping support the night, but his connection to the moment ran even deeper. His son had interned with the Florida Panthers during their early Stanley Cup runs, which gave him a story worth sharing when he got to the table. “My son was an intern for the Florida Panthers during their first two Stanley Cups,” Zipper said, adding that he showed Matthew photos of his son on the ice and on the team bus during the parade. “He was smiling ear to ear. He thought that was really cool.”
A few spots back in the crowd, Nicole Ferguson summed up the excitement from the fan side of things. “We are season ticket holders for the Panthers. We are super excited,” she said. “My husband went absolutely crazy when they won the gold. So we are just super excited to have the brothers here together, once in a lifetime opportunity.” She also thanked Palm Beach Autographs for putting the event together, calling the experience one her family was thrilled to be part of.
That energy carried throughout the room. Kids held onto jerseys like treasured possessions. Adults debated the perfect spot for an autograph. Everywhere you looked, there was that same sense that this was more than just a quick stop for signatures. It was a chance to be part of a moment tied to hometown pride, Olympic glory and two of hockey’s most recognizable brothers.
What stood out most was not just the turnout, but the staying power. When I left, the line was still deep, wrapping with no sign of slowing down. Nobody seemed bothered by it either. If anything, the long wait only added to the buzz. That is usually a pretty good sign the event delivered.
The Tkachuk brothers handled it all like veterans. No shortcuts, no coasting, just steady interaction, a few laughs and the kind of presence that made each fan feel like the stop actually mattered.
Some meet and greets come and go. This one had a little more bite to it. A little grit, a lot of pride and just enough gold medal shine to make it feel like Wellington got its own hockey night worth remembering.
Autographed and authenticated jerseys and pucks remain available through Palm Beach Autographs for fans still looking to bring home a piece of the event.

Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.
August 20, 2026
Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.
South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.
The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.
On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.
Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection
Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.
Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.
The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.
We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.
Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.
It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.
Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami
There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.
In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.
A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.
Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.
Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.
The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.
Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall
Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.
Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.
Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar
Fashion is only part of the experience.
For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.
Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.
The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.
Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.
The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.
A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home
For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.
Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.
Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.
And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.
After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.
Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
