Seattle Kraken

Jessica Campbell will become the first woman to work on the bench of an NHL franchise after the Seattle Kraken hired her as an assistant coach.

The Seattle Kraken named Dan Bylsma their head coach, putting the 2009 Stanley Cup winner back in charge of an NHL team for the first time since 2017.

The Seattle Kraken have fired coach Dave Hakstol after the third-year franchise took a significant step back following a playoff appearance in their second season.

Local artist Barry Johnson designed the Kraken's specialty jersey for the team's Black Hockey History Night. The team has found ways to celebrate inclusive theme nights, despite NHL restrictions.

Seattle general manager Ron Francis knows how important last season was for the present and future of the Kraken. Seattle found success on the ice by making the playoffs in just its second season.

The Seattle Kraken signed coach Dave Hakstol to a contract extension through the 2025-26 season after he led the franchise to the second round of the playoffs in its second season.

Of all the victories the Seattle Kraken enjoyed in its second year the biggest was a broader win that went beyond the ice. In a market that had never experienced the NHL, the Kraken graduated beyond the novelty of being the new thing in town.

The first round of the NHL playoffs is usually chaotic. This year is no exception. The Stanley Cup favorite, the defending NHL champion and the team that made three consecutive trips to the final are all out.

The 2024 NHL Winter Classic is headed to the Pacific Northwest as the Seattle Kraken will host the Vegas Golden Knights in a matchup at T-Mobile Park. The game between the Golden Knights and Kraken will be played on Jan. 1, 2024.

The Seattle Kraken have a new musical score for their pregame introductions this season. Oscar and Grammy winner Hans Zimmer, best known for his film scores, composed an eight-minute original piece for the team. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is part of the Kraken's ownership group and persuaded Zimmer to write the new theme.
