About

Dolly Reynolds (Editor) – Dolly was born in Hawai’i, but has been in Tampa Bay since she was a baby. She grew up always being involved with sports. Played basketball and football. Not many opportunities for hockey in Florida pre 1990′s. Then Phil Esposito changed her life forever when he decided to bring The Tampa Bay Lightning to Tampa. She was at the first home game and was instantly drawn to the sport. She’s been a Lightning fan since the beginning, loss or win, thick and thin she bleeds Bolt Blue. She’s always loved to take pictures and write sports articles, mystery novels, and articles for patriotic organizations. The opportunity to mix her two passions of hockey and writing for the sport that she loves is a dream come true! She has a goal of going back to school for Sports Journalism, Sports Media, and Sports Photography. You can email her personally at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @huladolly

Gabriel Moreta (Staff Writer) - I live in Kissimmee, Florida, which is basically the suburb of Orlando. I am very talkative, and can make a conversation out of just about anything. My favorite player is Steven Stamkos. I love his performances on the ice and his contributions off of it; I think he is a role model for anyone, even those who aren’t hockey fans. I never ever hesitate to input my opinion on a topic, but I do so carefully so I do not offend anyone. I also am open to any disagreements. I plan to attend the University of South Florida after I graduate high school this year. I will study Mass Communications, and will hopefully become a sports reporter/journalist. My idol is ESPN’s Colin Cowherd. I have two personal goals: Make someone smile every day, and suck up as much knowledge as possible. Find me on Twitter: @Gabriel0430

D. Frederick Cook (Staff Writer) –
D. Frederick Cook is an aspiring novelist and a lifelong hockey fanatic. He is Bolts by the Bay’s resident Canadian, operating out of New Brunswick, where he is bombarded daily by updates on Canadian teams by multiple sources. He might well be Canada’s only Tampa Bay Lightning fan, and as such, risks bodily harm in most sports-related conversations and at all social gatherings. Go Bolts.

Tasha Meares (Staff Writer) - Tasha was born and raised in sunny Tampa, Florida and will bleed Bolt Blue until the day she dies. She has played all kinds of sports from a very young age. Her passion for sports has continued on throughout the years, if not grown to new levels. As a hockey fanatic, she enjoys watching many teams such as the Chicago Blackhawks and the Colorado Avalanche, but her heart will always belong to the Tampa Bay Lightning. She is also an avid fan of both baseball and football. Her favorite teams include the Tampa Bay Rays and the Indianapolis Colts. You can follow her on Twitter @HeartagramGirl
