Two 15-year-old Tampa Bay Jr. Lightning skaters, Zachary LaBella and Jordyn Kimmel, are blazing trails in their inaugural season—both earning coveted spots at USA Hockey’s National Player Development Camps. Zachary heads to Amherst, New York, while Jordyn travels to Oxford, Ohio, competing against top talent nationwide. Selected after standout performances at state and regional camps, they’re now training with elite peers, honing on-ice skills and off-ice development. For Zachary, a defenseman since age four, it’s a dream realized; for Jordyn, a forward who joined the Jr. Lightning to cut down travel, it’s a game-changer. Their program, launched just months ago with weekly training and national tournaments, proves high-level hockey can thrive locally—with support from Bolts alumni. With nearly 50 games ahead and potential paths to Team USA, their success signals a bright future for Tampa Bay hockey.
