Ever since his best friend took him to a Lightning game back in 2015, Joseph Lopez found a home in Amalie arena. Starting as a Contributor to Bolts by the Bay in October of 2024, Joseph aims to echo the voice of authentic Tampa fans near and far. Through writing about the team, its players, and relevant storylines, Joseph wishes to paint a lucid picture of what it means to be an avid fan of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Joseph has attended multitude of hockey games over the years, met cornerstone players such as Victor Hedman, and has even had dinner with founder of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Phil Esposito. Now, Joseph hopes to emulate his previous work as the Site Expert of Bolts by the Bay. In his spare time when he is not raving about the Lightning, Joseph enjoys watching movies, going to the beach, and pursuing his passion of photography.
