The Seattle Kraken are a professional ice hockey team based in Seattle. The Kraken compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Pacific Division in the Western Conference and began play during the league's 2021–22 season. They play their home games at Climate Pledge Arena.

In December 2018, the NHL approved a proposal by Seattle Hockey Partners to grant an expansion franchise to the city of Seattle. In July 2020, the Kraken's name and branding were revealed.[1] The Kraken are the first professional ice hockey team to play in Seattle since the Seattle Totems of the Western Hockey League played their last game in 1975. And they are the first Seattle team to compete for the Stanley Cup since the Seattle Metropolitans, who won the Cup in 1917 and folded in 1924. On October 26, 2021, the team raised a banner commemorating the 1917 title team.[2]

History[edit]

Establishment (2018–2021)[edit]

Further information: Ice hockey in Seattle

The NHL Board of Governors voted unanimously to approve Seattle's expansion team on December 4, 2018, to begin play in the 2021–22 season as a member of the Pacific Division in the Western Conference. As a result, the Arizona Coyotes were shifted from the Pacific Division to the Central Division to balance out the four divisions at eight teams each. The organization hired Ron Francis as their general manager to initiate operations for the team.[3]

On July 23, 2020, the franchise announced their team name, the Seattle Kraken, as well as their team colors, branding, and home jersey.[4] The team's name comes from the mythical kraken of Scandinavian folklore and its resemblance to the native giant Pacific octopus, which is found in the waters of the Puget Sound, near Seattle.[5] On April 30, 2021, the franchise paid the final installment of the $650 million expansion fee, making the Kraken the 32nd team of the NHL.[6][7]

First seasons (2021–present)[edit]

The Kraken made their first ever signing, Luke Henman, on May 12, 2021.[8] On June 24, the organization hired Dave Hakstol as their inaugural head coach.[9] On June 28, the Kraken announced the Charlotte Checkers as their inaugural farm team, sharing the team with the Florida Panthers.[10]

An expansion draft was held on July 21, in a similar manner to a previous expansion draft held in 2017 for the Vegas Golden Knights, who were themselves exempt from the 2021 expansion draft.[11][12][13] The Kraken would then select their first draft pick, Matty Beniers, as the second overall selection at the 2021 NHL Entry Draft.[14] The Kraken would also sign many players. Notable signings would include goaltender Philipp Grubauer and forwards Jaden Schwartz and Alexander Wennberg.[15] On October 11, the Kraken named Mark Giordano, selected in the expansion draft from the Calgary Flames, as the team's inaugural captain.[16] The captaincy would become vacant after Giordano was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs on March 20, 2022.[17]

Matty Beniers was the first ever Kraken draft pick, selected at the 2021 NHL Entry Draft.

The Kraken played their first regular season game on October 12, a 4–3 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, where Ryan Donato would score the team's first goal.[18] The Kraken's first win came in their second game on October 14, when they defeated the Nashville Predators 4–3.[19] Following a 6–1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, goaltender Joey Daccord would be named the a starter instead of the usual Philipp Grubauer in what would be a 4–2 loss to the New Jersey Devils.[20] The Kraken would play their first home game at Climate Pledge Arena on October 23, a 4–2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks.[21] Prior to the game, the Kraken would retire the jersey number 32, in recognition of the franchise being the 32nd to join the NHL and in honor of the 32,000 fans who placed deposits for tickets on the first possible day.[22] The Kraken would pick up their first ever home win on October 26, against the Montreal Canadiens.[23] Goaltender Chris Driedger would make his first start with the Kraken on November 9, in a 4–2 loss to the Golden Knights.[24] The Kraken would face several losing streaks throughout their season. However, Philipp Grubauer would record the franchise's first ever shutout, making 19 saves in an 3–0 victory against the New York Islanders.[25] The Kraken would be eliminated from playoff contention on March 30 after a 3–0 loss to the Golden Knights.[26] The Kraken would finish their inaugural season in last place of the Pacific Division with a 27–49–6 record and 60 points.

The Kraken's second season would be far better in terms of winning. On July 13, 2022, the Kraken would sign Martin Jones to a one-year contract.[27] He would make his debut with the Kraken on October 13, notching a 4–1 victory.[28] In early January, Jones would lead the Kraken through an 8-game win streak. In doing so the Kraken became the first team to win all seven games of a road trip.[29] On April 6, the Kraken clinched their first ever playoff berth, qualifying for the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs as the first wild card from the Western Conference with a record of 46–28–8 and 100 points.[30] On April 13, it was announced that forward Andre Burakovsky would miss the first round of the playoffs after missing the last 33 games of the season, due to an undisclosed lower body injury.[31] On April 30, they defeated the Colorado Avalanche, in the opening round, becoming the first expansion team in NHL history to win their first playoff series against the defending Stanley Cup champions.[32] The Kraken would lose to the Dallas Stars in the second round.[33] Both series lasted the full seven games. On June 26, Matty Beniers was named the champion of the Calder Memorial Trophy for being the NHL rookie of the year.[34]

Arena[edit]

The team plays home games at Climate Pledge Arena.[35][36] The arena, at Seattle Center, is a $930 million redevelopment of the former KeyArena and Seattle Center Coliseum. Amazon bought the naming rights to Climate Pledge Arena and chose to name the venue after its environmental goals.[37] The venue has 17,151 total seats in its NHL configuration;[38] 6,000 seats are reserved for half-season ticket holders, who were given the choice of packages named the "Blue Line" and "Red Line".[39] All fans holding tickets are given free transit passes to get to and from the arena, which is served by several bus routes and the Seattle Center Monorail.[40]

The team's primary practice facility, named the Kraken Community Iceplex, is located at Northgate Station (formerly Northgate Mall) and was opened in September 2021. The facility has three rinks and is open to the public.[41] A second community ice rink is proposed for a former park-and-ride lot in Kirkland on the Eastside.[42]

The Kraken's three home preseason games prior to the 2021–22 season were held at Spokane Arena in Spokane, Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett, and the accesso ShoWare Center in Kent, which are all home to Western Hockey League (WHL) teams. Tickets were sold by the host WHL teams.[43]

The Kraken played their first home game at Climate Pledge Arena on October 23, 2021, a 4–2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. Vince Dunn scored the first goal in the arena's history for Seattle.[44] They won their first game in the arena on October 26, a 5–1 victory against the Montreal Canadiens.[45] Their first shutout win at home was a 3–0 victory over the San Jose Sharks on April 29, 2022, the final home game of the inaugural season.[46]

In-arena entertainment[edit]

The Kraken use the horn from the MV Hyak ferry boat as their goal horn. At the first two home games, the Hyak's horn was not yet functional, so the team played a recording of it.[47] The team plays the Nirvana song "Lithium" after every Kraken goal at home.[48]

After their first win at home against the Montreal Canadiens on October 26, 2021, the Kraken featured a new postgame tradition during the "Three Stars of the Game" ceremony. Instead of the honored players tossing conventional souvenir pucks or sticks to the fans, they throw a plush toy salmon into the crowd to mimic Seattle's Pike Place Market fish toss and to honor the significance of wild-caught salmon to the state of Washington.[49]

Rod Masters, the organist from the 1977 film Slap Shot, became the organist for the Kraken starting with the team's January 1, 2022, home game. As Climate Pledge Arena does not have an organ, Masters played music using electronic keyboards.[50] Masters retired after the 2021–22 season, and the Kraken hired 29-year-old Ben Wooley to replace him.[51]

Logo and uniforms[edit]

The Kraken unveiled their logo on July 23, 2020. The logo was a callback to the "S" worn by the Seattle Metropolitans, while also appearing like the tentacle of a kraken. The colors chosen for the logo were ice blue, boundless blue, shadow blue and red alert.[52] The Kraken's secondary logo is supposed to represent an anchor combined with the Space Needle.[53]

The Kraken unveiled its inaugural uniforms on July 22, 2021. Deep sea blue served as the base color with the logo's colors as accent colors.[54]

The Kraken unveiled its "Reverse Retro" uniform in the 2022–23 season, featuring an ice blue base with deep sea blue striping. The design was a callback to the Seattle Ironmen, a defunct Pacific Coast Hockey League (PCHL) team that existed in the 1940s.[55]

In the 2024 NHL Winter Classic, the Kraken wore a uniform inspired by the Seattle Metropolitans' sweaters. The deep sea blue uniform features a red "S" similar to the Metropolitans' crest, but shaped to the current "S" logo of the Kraken, with the team name written inside. Ice blue, vintage white and deep sea blue stripes were added to the body and sleeves.[56] The uniform was officially unveiled on November 22, 2023, but was leaked four days earlier when players from the NBA's Utah Jazz walked to the Delta Center wearing the Kraken's Winter Classic uniform.[57]

Mascot[edit]

Main article: Buoy (mascot)
Seattle Kraken mascot Buoy

Buoy, a sea troll, is the Kraken's mascot. He is said to be a nephew of the Fremont Troll. Buoy was introduced prior to a preseason game against the Canucks on October 1, 2022, at Climate Pledge Arena. The Kraken had intended to introduce Buoy around Christmas during the 2021–22 season, but due to game postponements related to the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, the team decided to wait until prior to the 2022–23 season instead.[58] Reaction to Buoy's debut was polarized, with many observers expressing a strong like or dislike for the mascot.[59] On his Spittin' Chiclets podcast, Paul Bissonnette called Buoy "the ugliest mascot of all time".[60]

During the 2021–22 season, in the absence of an official mascot, the Kraken promoted a "team dog" named Davy Jones. The dog, a four-month-old husky mix rescue dog introduced on January 17, 2022, socialized with fans at home games as he trained to be a therapy dog.[61]

Broadcasting[edit]

Radio[edit]

Everett Fitzhugh serves as the team's primary radio play-by-play announcer. Fitzhugh had previously done play-by-play for the ECHL's Cincinnati Cyclones. He is the first Black full-time play-by-play announcer in NHL history.[62][63] Former NHL player and Vancouver Canucks broadcaster Dave Tomlinson served as Fitzhugh's color analyst for the first two seasons,[64] before resigning in August 2023 to take a new broadcasting job in Canada.[65] Fitzhugh tested positive for COVID-19 prior to the Kraken's first regular season road trip; on radio broadcasts, TV announcer John Forslund and veteran KJR broadcaster Ian Furness filled in on play-by-play duties.[66]

Kraken games are broadcast on KJR-FM 93.3 and KJR 950 AM, the flagship stations of the Kraken Audio Network. During a schedule conflict, some games may be heard on 96.5 KJAQ.[67][68] The Kraken Audio Network also includes the following stations outside Seattle:[69]

Television[edit]

Kraken games are broadcast regionally on Root Sports Northwest for the team's first five seasons. Former Hartford Whalers and Carolina Hurricanes broadcaster John Forslund serves as the team's television play-by-play announcer.[63][72] J. T. Brown is the Kraken's first television analyst.[73] In August 2022, the team hired Eddie Olczyk to be a television analyst alongside Forslund and Brown. Olczyk would maintain his job at TNT as the lead color commentator and would call the Kraken's games as his schedule allowed.[74]

Alison Lukan is a studio analyst for Root Sports Northwest who filled in for Brown for a few games during the 2021–22 season and did the same for Olczyk and Piper Shaw for the 2022–23 season onward. Nick Olczyk joined her as a TV, radio, and mobile app contributor for the 2022–23 season.[75]

The telecast for the Kraken's February 17, 2022, game against the Winnipeg Jets had Fitzhugh on play-by-play and Brown on color commentary, comprising the first all-Black broadcast booth in NHL history.[76]

Music[edit]

Unlike most professional sports teams at any official level, the Kraken had an official theme song. The song was entitled "Kraken Pop", and was a tune composed by Canadian rock band Adolf Hitler.
