Tampa Bay Lightning Stanley Cup congratulations
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Last thing I have, and then we'll go move on to uh Commissioner Starkey one more time. And as I think we all know, um congratulations to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Yeah, you can give him a round of applause.
So they won the Stanley Cup last week. The Lighting's also a great community partner here in Pasco County. As you know, there's the two hockey rinks that they built here in our county parks. They also donate to a community hero every game, and a lot of those community community heroes have been Pasco County residents or not-for-profit. Um in addition, they uh wasn't that long ago where they helped co-sponsor the Disabled Hockey Festival, and that was a great event. I spent a lot of time there that that day. They had a lot of
um current and former Lightning players that participated in that and um coaches and staff. Um and we will we really do thank them for their all their community efforts, and they do so. I actually, if you can see here, I've got uh my little puck there today and And uh actually I'm gonna stand up here and uh hit it. No, I'm not gonna hit it, actually. I'm just teasing, but uh as is always in my office. So uh to remember the Lightning and what uh great community partners are. So again, congratulations to Tampa Bay Lightning. We are definitely excited to
be in the Tampa Bay area and be a be a close partner with you guys. So thanks again to them. I mean it's pretty cool stuff when you think about it. Right. You think of you think of these are awesome. Um
You know, you figure that two the two the two teams that were in the Stanley Cup finals were quote Southern. Teams, you know, te in out of Texas and Florida. You know, twenty years ago, would you ever have imagined that? The cup finals would be a team from Texas and a and a and a team from Florida actually playing against each other. It shows you how far that sport has come in the state of Florida. And you think about all the great things happening here in Pasco County when it comes to Ice hockey. You know, we've said it before. I would
remind everybody again, you know, we had the Women's Olympic um team that practiced here and currently right now you got junior players that are going to the colleges in NHL that are practicing there. You have Olympic athletes that are currently training um uh athletes at that facility. So it's proved pretty incredible and we're happy to be a big part of it. So with that, Commissioner Commissioner Starkey you said you had something?
