Last year, the Tampa Bay Lightning, Lightning Foundation, and the Bolts Better Halves hosted a baby shower for military families in partnership with Operation Shower, an organization whose mission is to bring joyful baby showers to military families across the country.

The 2023 baby shower had an ‘Ice Ice Babies’ theme tying into hockey and hip-hop. The 20 military moms and families in attendance were treated to lunch, classic baby shower games, and many surprise gifts throughout the shower. Some of the gifts the moms received included a crib, baby monitors, A Diaper Genie, and more!

The Bolts Better Halves, the significant others of members of the Tampa Bay Lightning, served as table hosts at the shower and also provided Lightning-themed diaper bag gifts for each of the families in attendance.
