Lightning Girls Cap Another Fine Season

|

It was bitter sweet at the Lightning Girls’ final home contest this week. The game was sweet that a victory came against the rival Capitals on fan appreciation night and bitter that the season is shortened without a Playoff appearance. The Girls no longer sweep up the ice during intermissions but now spend more time and energy mingling with the fans throughout the Forum. The Lightning is a classy organization and these young ladies exemplify that class with their continuous inter-action with the fans and community. They probably pose for a thousand photos a night.

Crystal R. is an extremely busy young lady---during the day a demure Tampa area kindergarten teacher and at night an energetic dancer at some 40 hockey home games. Did I also mention that Crystal is an active and successful model appearing in numerous print ads, commercials and runway shows?

Photogenic Courtney was a member of the “Rays Team” fan squad. Courtney’s poster size images from the Lightning marketing photo shoot done on the beaches of Tampa Bay are hung throughout the Forum. Glamour modeling should be in her future. Marissa is studying Biomedical Sciences at St. Petersburg College and hopes to have a career as an Orthodontist. Don’t sneak up behind Marissa or you may feel the wrath of her black belt in Tae-Kwan-Do. Desiree is enjoying her rookie season while meeting so many Bolts fans.
