Ah, the dog days of summer. It’s hot, humid, and NHL players everywhere are enjoying time off before training for next season begins. A number of Lightning players are involved with stuff around the world and we wanted to catch you up on what the boys are up to.
It seems like every time you catch up on NHLers social media accounts they’re headed somewhere for a wedding. The Bolts are no exception. Congratulations go out to the captain Steven Stamkos and his bride Sandra on their nuptials. Former Lightning player Nate Thompson was on hand to offer… personal congratulations.

Vladislav Namestnikov spent some of his summer in Detroit as part of the Eastside Elite – a competitive summer hockey league founded by Steven Olesky. He was on team 2SP, along with former Syracuse Crunch defenseman Matt Taormina, and Buffalo Sabres’ free agent acquisition Seth Griffith. Recently updated stats show that Vlad has 15 goals and 14 assists in 9 games.
