U.S. Olympic Women’s Hockey Team To Take Victory Lap In Tampa
TAMPA, FL – The gold medal-winning 2018 U.S. Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey Team will take a victory lap, or two, around center ice at the Amalie Arena in Tampa on Wednesday, Feb. 28, as part of the team’s victory tour. Tampa Bay fans will officially welcome the women’s hockey team home at the Tampa Bay Lightning home game against the Buffalo Sabres, which begins at 7 p.m. The 23 team members, wearing their Olympic gold medals and Team USA jerseys, will participate in a ceremonial puck drop at the Lightning game. On Tuesday, Feb. 27, the Olympic team appeared on the Ellen talk show and were honored at a Los Angeles Kings home game against the Vegas Golden Knights before heading to familiar turf, umm… ice, in Tampa. The team became very familiar with Tampa while training all summer at Florida Hospital Center Ice in Wesley Chapel, a new ice sports facility that opened a year ago.
