My whole family is a huge fan of hockey. My brothers played on two different teams a piece all throughout school. Every weekend we would go to hockey tournaments and over the summer it was all about hockey. Basically during hockey season that was the only thing you could watch in person and on TV. I am still a die hard fan. My favorite is when a new team is formed. I remember when the Las Vegas team was formed. It is neat because every team has to give up a player. They can only protect so many players from being drafted into the new team. So that means certain key players that haven’t really gotten much attention in later years get to shine on a new team. Vegas kicked butt the year they formed. This new Seattle Kraken has formed in Washington. My whole family was super excited to see what players got picked. My ultimate favorite player on the Tampa Bay team was Yanni Gourde. He is now the center for the Seattle Kraken. He is super rough and mouthy. I just love him. My family bought tickets right away and made it a trip to visit Seattle Washington to see the very first Seattle Kraken game. I love that the mascot is a kraken. I love the team colors and jerseys. The team is doing really well this year so far. I think they are going to get a chance for the playoffs and then a possible Stanley Cup contender. I can’t wait to see what they do next.
