Hockey fans, especially NHL resent the lack of coverage they get in cities that aren't Chicago, NYC, Buffalo..
Hockey is its own culture entirely.
Seattle got a team because it's a diverse city with a ton of Canadians, who will at least go watch their own teams visit. California transplants have 3 teams even.
And if the Kraken aren't competitive within a couple years it could still get ugly for them.
You have a WHL team that gets very solid support. I do remember beating up on a team from Kent at a tournament in Midget (15-17 year olds) so there must be some decent grass roots hockey around Seattle.
We? have two WHL teams and there will absolutely be crossover.
Iβm a Kraken STH β¦ it was about 19% of a factor in me dropping my UW hoops tickets β¦ Hop sucking ass and college hoops largely being a pay for play level of stupidity now is another
Enjoy a shit hockey team with no tradition and a bunch of bandwagon fans that will jump off in 2 seasons.
I know the MO of this bored is to take a complaint and run with it, but for God's sake man. Lighten up and go get laid or something. Some people just like to watch hockey. Also, if you're a Sonics fan you should be grateful that the Kraken came in to existence, which in turn led to the Coliseum being rebuilt to a standard that the NBA approves of. They sure as shit aren't going to work with Hansen.
