TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Lightning are back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions after the team defeated the Montreal Canadiens 1-0 on Wednesday night. To celebrate the victory, the City of Tampa will host a boat parade on Monday.
The parade will start at 11 a.m. along the Riverwalk. They will dock at 12 or 1 p.m. at Rick's on the River.
They will then get on a trolley and head to Julian B. Lane where there will be what the mayor calls a huge community celebration. The players will take the stage sometime after 2 p.m., but the park will open at 9 a.m.
The parade is on Monday instead of the weekend because a son in the Vinik family is getting married this weekend, and Mayor Castor says they couldn't have the parade without Lightning owner Jeff Vinik and his family.
