Last season, the Tampa Bay Lightning made history by retiring the first jersey in franchise history. This honor would go to former Lightning captain Martin St. Louis. In the Lightning’s upcoming 25th anniversary season, the franchise will make history once again when they retire the jersey of one of the most memorable players in Lightning history.
The Tampa Bay Lightning announced earlier today the organization will officially retire the jersey of former Lightning captain Vincent Lecavalier on February 10, 2017. The date of the occasion is definitely no accident.
