Random question, but has anyone here joined as a solo player for the adult ball hockey league run by the Lightning and how was your experience?

How are the competition levels in the intermediate vs the competitive division? Are solo players just paired up with a group of friends that couldn't fill their roster? Thanks for any insight!

Don’t shoot the messenger here, but word is we may be down a center to start the year.

This essentially would open up a real competition between Geekie and O’Reilly to fill out that spot on the roster.

Where will the other Bolts land, and too high or too low for Hagel and Point?

Miss Kita Poocherov says she has waited far too long for hockey season to start back up. She said she will continue to wear her bandana but that she is losing hope she will ever see puck drop again 🏒

Just saw they are moving AGAIN. Damn.

Just for fun…

I have no explanation for why this makes me like JJ even more. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤓😊

What does the winner do with Kalvin (prize bull)? That’s a big boy.

We met Vasy at a signing event in Brandon today. He was so nice. He’s really chill and he seemed happy to see everyone. I still can’t believe that I got to meet him.

From the Lightning Hockey Development post: “AC & Gonzo traded their skates for sneakers to host a ball hockey clinic for our friends at the Children's Cancer Center 💙”

More adorableness, fun & frolic…

I love this team and Ryan was so good with the kiddos.

Behind the scenes: How Benchmark International Arena's ice crew prepares for a new NHL season via Tampa Bay 28

There’s a nice video in the article :)

Highlights:

—It takes 320 gallons of white paint, a 12-hour shift, and 18 members of the Bolts ice crew to get the rink ready for hockey season. "It's like Christmas Day for us," Jesso said. (Patrick Jesso, manager of ice operations.)

—Tampa Bay has the NHL’s first full time female Zamboni driver, Ali Murdoch (she describes herself in the interview as a lifetime rink rat)

—The first preseason home game is September 20, and the first regular season home game is October 3 at Benchmark International Arena.

It's been so awfully quiet. Why haven't the Lightning made other moves after July 1st?

Sign NK please. LGBolts.

Great post and more photos on their Facebook post:

“A pretty COOL night at the Children’s Cancer Center 🎗️🏒🍦

During RISE, our kids participated in a Street hockey clinic with the Tampa Bay Lightning joined by Lightning players Anthony Cirelli and Gage Goncalves who jumped in on the action and helped make the day one to remember.

And after working up an appetite, Frio’s ice pops rolled in with the sweetest way to cool down🍦”

Distant thunder here, just received everything from the lightning foundation auction fundraiser! Some awesome gear for me and money to a good cause. Can’t wait to get this season under way !
