The Seattle Kraken, a National Hockey League team founded in 2021, have been making headlines recently thanks to their unexpected success on the ice. Despite being a relatively new team, the Kraken have already formed a strong bond among their players, due in part to a three-day bonding trip they took during the pandemic prior to the start of the current season (The Columbian).
The Kraken have also been the subject of much speculation by sports journalists and betting experts alike. Their recent matchup against the Colorado Avalanche in Game 5 drew attention from many who were analyzing the odds and making predictions on the outcome of the game (USA TODAY Sportsbook Wire, Action Network).
However, the personal lives of the Kraken players have also been making headlines. Morgan Geekie, a forward for the Kraken, recently became a father and is returning to the ice after spending some time with his newborn daughter. He was excited to return and contribute to the team’s success with some newfound “dad strength” (The Seattle Times).
Despite the buzz surrounding the Kraken, they are taking nothing for granted. Many of their players are aware that success is not guaranteed, but they are committed to keeping up the hard work and dedication that has gotten them this far. As The Hockey News notes, the Kraken and the New Jersey Devils are two very different teams, but they share a commitment to excellence that has made them formidable opponents in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
