St. Petersburg, Florida, knows hockey. The Tampa Bay Lightning have been in their backyard since 1992 and even played within its city limits from 1993 to 1996. The Lightning proved the region was viable, but they do not hold the honor of being the region's first hockey team. While the team's time in St. Petersburg was short-lived, some still look back fondly at that brief moment.
