TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The Tampa Bay Lightning will air a real-time, animated broadcast for the team’s game against the New York Islanders later this month.

The animated program will feature real-time, volumetric animation geared toward families and young hockey fans. The game will be held on March 29 at 2 p.m.

The team will join the Lightning’s mascot, ThunderBug, on a Florida adventure to “Hockey Paradise.” The Bolts and Isles will battle “in a Tampa-themed, virtual world, featuring the iconic buildings, beaches and water life of Tampa Bay.”

Fans can expect to see animated shots, checks, passes and saves from some of the team’s biggest stars, including Victor Hedman, Nikita Kucherov and Andrei Vasilevskiy.

The Bolts will also celebrate Kids Day, presented by AdventHealth. Families with tickets to the game will enjoy family-focused programming inside AMALIE Arena.

If you don’t have tickets, you can still join in on the fun. The team will host a free, outdoor watch party live on Ford Thunder Alley where fans can watch a live stream of the animated matchup against the Islanders. 

Fans can watch the game locally on the official Lightning app and TampaBayLightning.com.
