Seattle Kraken är en amerikansk ishockeyorganisation vars lag är baserat i Seattle i Washington och har varit medlemsorganisation i National Hockey League (NHL) sedan den 30 april 2021, de kom dock till spel från och med säsongen 2021–2022.[2]
Lagets hemmaarena är Climate Pledge Arena och invigdes den 21 april 1962 som Washington State Pavilion[3] men genomgick en nästintill totalrenovering mellan den 5 december 2018[4] och den 19 oktober 2021[5].
Kraken spelar i Pacific Division tillsammans med Anaheim Ducks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, San Jose Sharks, Vancouver Canucks och Vegas Golden Knights.[6]
De har ännu inte vunnit någon Stanley Cup.
Historik
Den 7 december 2017 fick Seattles tilltänkta ägarkonstellation, däribland David Bonderman och Jerry Bruckheimer, tillåtelse av NHL och dess kommissarie Gary Bettman att börja reservera säsongsbiljetter för att få klarhet hur publikunderlaget i Seattle såg ut.[7][8] Varje expansionslag måste få minst 10 000 säsongsbiljetter reserverade för att NHL ska inleda en expansionsprocess[9], Seattle lyckades att reservera de 10 000 säsongsbiljetterna på bara tolv minuter.[10] I oktober 2018 meddelade de att reservationerna hade ökat till 32 000.[11] Den 4 december meddelade NHL att man hade godkänt och sagt ja till att Seattle skulle få en medlemsorganisation i NHL, med start från säsongen 2021–2022.[12][13] Ägarkonstellationen skulle betala 650 miljoner dollar för att ansluta sig till ligan.[14] Den 18 juli blev det offentligt att ishockeyorganisationen hade anställt Ron Francis som sin första general manager.[15] Den 23 juli 2020 meddelade ishockeyorganisationen att de skulle heta Seattle Kraken, namnet är taget ifrån det stora fiktiva skandinaviska havsmonstret Kraken. Monstret beskrivs som en mycket stor bläckfisk som låg på botten i Nordsjön och befann sig utanför Norges kust där den (oftast vid dåligt väder och stormar) åt upp hela fiskebåtar med sjömän som aldrig kom tillbaka hem.[16] Seattle Kraken blev officiellt en medlemsorganisation i NHL den 30 april 2021.[2]
