On a live stream, Kraken CEO, Tod Leiweke stated, “Every day for the past two years, we’ve thought about this moment, and we knew if we did listen, we couldn’t go wrong — that we would be in a position, if we simply listened, to build that next great team brand.” 

Not only are the general managers, marketing team, and fans excited, the remaining NHL organizations are welcoming the Seattle Krakens with open arms. The Boston Bruins tweeted:

With all the support, the Seattle Krakens are in such a great position to present to the world their deep rooted history, and passion for hockey. 2021-22 will definitely be an alluring season.
