Phil Esposito Statue : ウィキペディア英語版 | Phil Esposito Statue The Phil Esposito Statue is a commemorative bronze work created in honor of NHL Hall-of-Famer, Phil Esposito, for his role in co-founding the Tampa Bay Lightning franchise. It was unveiled on December 31, 2011 at the Tampa Bay Times Forum in Tampa, FL.〔Associated Press. () "Lightning unveil Phil Esposito statue", ESPN, 31 December 2011. Retrieved 24 February 2013.〕〔Fennelly, Martin. ("Esposito's statue is 'icing on cake'" ), The Tampa Tribune, Tampa, 31 December 2011. Retrieved 24 February 2013.〕〔Kaufman, Ira. ("Lightning to honor Esposito with statue." ), The Tampa Tribune, Tampa, 20 December 2011. Retrieved 24 February 2013.〕〔Schieber, Dave. ("Q & A with NHL legend Phil Esposito." ) 30 December 2011. Retrieved 24 February 2013〕 The statue portrays Esposito dressed in a business suit, allegedly at his request, because he came into co-founding the Tampa Bay Lightning as a business man, and not a player, (Stuart, 2012). Esposito holds a hockey stick, adorns each hand with his two Stanley Cup rings, and wears a tie with the Tampa Bay Lightning logo. == Statue Origin ==
The original idea for the statue derived from Tampa attorney and avid Tampa Bay Lightning fan, Stephen K. Stuart, who felt that Esposito deserved to be commemorated for his role in getting Tampa a hockey team.〔〔 Stuart reported, “What impressed me was how he fought to get this franchise, and I don't think anyone else could have gotten it here if it wasn't for his hockey pedigree."〔 With the help of private donors, Stuart raised $60,000 to create the statue.〔
