The Tampa Bay Lightning are an American professional ice hockey team based in Tampa, Florida. They play in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Hockey League (NHL).

Having first played in the Expo Hall,[2] and later in the ThunderDome (now known as Tropicana Field),[3] the Lightning have played their home games at the Ice Palace, currently titled Amalie Arena, since 1996. The franchise has had six general managers since their inception.[4]
