They’re gonna be called what? NHL Seattle may finally have locked down a team name
The unnamed Seattle NHL team may not go by the “Unnamed Seattle NHL team” for much longer.
According to John Hoven of Mayor’s Manor, NHL fans in Seattle will be releasing the Kraken before every game. How does the sound of “Seattle Kraken” work? Hoven was on NHL Network Sirius XM Radio discussing the long-awaited news of a team name.
“From everything that I’ve heard, it looks like Seattle Kraken is going to be the name,” Hoven said on the broadcast. “Which is quite surprising, actually, when I was given that information just a couple of days ago. I was a little bit in shock personally, just because we had been told several times previously that that was not the name that they were going for. It looked like they were leaning toward Sockeyes. And then now, I guess it’s come out that that was a name that’s been used in a book by an author. Maybe it was a fantasy novel, I’m not exactly sure, I haven’t done the research on what the book series was about. But it’s been out there I guess now for about five years or so.”
Among other names, Seattle’s NHL franchise has been rumored to be named Evergreens, Firebirds, and Rainiers.
Who is ready to hear this before every game?
