LAST SEASON If I had to sum up the Seattle Kraken‘s 2025-26 season in two words, it would be “they existed.” Among the many storylines of the season, the Kraken were never really front of mind in the hockey world, and it showed in their on-ice play. They hung around in the playoff race for most of the season but never actually threatened to overtake any of the top teams in the Pacific Division. They were never more than seven wins above .500, but also never less than three games below. Come Tr...

The Seattle Kraken wasted little time setting the tone for training camp. From the opening stretches of the first day, the intensity was evident. Players competed hard throughout the session,…
Day One of the Vancouver Canucks training camp was all about the defence. And yelling – lots of yelling. Day Two showed more offence, with rush variants and board play. And they play pre-season games on Saturday. Or not. Everyone’s curious about what the team will look like in personnel and coaching strategies, but this is just training camp. Even the two upcoming games against Seattle won’t reveal a whole lot. The shortened pre-season isn’t helping PTO pick up Chris Driedger, that’s for sure....
