The Seattle Kraken and PWHL Seattle will be sharing more than a home rink and practice facility.
Seattle’s two new hockey general managers, Jason Botterill of the Kraken and Meghan Turner of the expansion PWHL Seattle have already had their first conversation. Turner has also spoken with Kraken president of hockey operations Ron Francis.
They discussed relocating across the country to the Pacific Northwest, and PWHL Seattle’s search for their first-ever head coach.
Speaking of coaches, new Kraken bench boss Lane Lambert held his introductory press conference. He referenced his interaction with the Toronto Scepters while serving as an assistant coach with the Maple Leafs. Lambert, Botterill, and my questions for GM Turner are all part of this Kraken Reaction.
