History as a Joke: Hockey

In Tampa, we know lightning can strike twice. History as a Joke: Hockey serves up the surprising history of the sport with humor, storytelling, and a distinctly Tampa point of view, proving that hockey and laughs thrive right here in the heat.
At History as a Joke, join comedians Johnny B, John J. Murray, and Matt Fernandez from the 3 Ugly Mugs podcast, along with the History Center’s Rodney Kite-Powell, as they point out the humorous side of history.
