How did the Seattle Kraken get their name?

Last updated November 22, 2020 by ZagBot Comment

Seattle’s NHL expansion ice hockey team is named the Seattle Kraken after a feared, mythical, tentacled sea monster from Scandinavian folklore.

The name was selected for the city’s new ice hockey franchise in a nod to Seattle’s maritime history and its coastal location in the Pacific Northwest, where giant Pacific octopus are known to dwell.

The new team’s name, colors, branding, and jersey design were announced on July 23rd, 2020, in advance of their 2021/22 season debut.
