The Tampa Bay Lightning are Stanley Cup champions. Here’s how you can help them celebrate

The Tampa Bay Lightning are Stanley Cup champions for the first time in 2004.

The team, which defeated the Dallas Stars 4 games to 2 in the Stanley Cup Finals held in the “bubble” of Edmonton, Alberta, is scheduled to arrive in Tampa at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

On Wednesday, the public will have a couple of chances to honor the team.

There will be a Stanley Cup Champions Boat Parade on the Hillsborough River at 5 p.m., where fans can see it from the Riverwalk.

For the boat parade, officials want people to wear a mask and stay socially distant while watching from the Riverwalk.

Then at 7:30 p.m., there is a celebration at Raymond James Stadium. It is ticketed but those tickets are free.

People can start claiming them on Tuesday at 1 p.m. at Ticketmaster’s website.
