Kaka exchanges jersey with Lightning captain Steven Stamkos

Brazilian soccer star Kaka used his night off from Orlando SC to serve as the Tampa Bay Lightning's "#BoltsSocial Captain" for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Amalie Arena on Wednesday.

The Lightning social media initiative brings athletes with ties to the Tampa area to a Lightning home game. Celebrity social captains share their experience on Twitter using the hashtags #BoltsSocial and #GoBolts.

Kaka kicked off his stint as captain with an age-old soccer tradition, exchanging jerseys with Lightning captain Steven Stamkos prior to the game.
