Seattle Kraken

The Seattle Kraken announced their youth hockey and skating academy coaching staff. Chad Goodwin was named director of skating, Martin Hlinka director of youth hockey, and David Min and Katelyn Parker player development coaches. The programs will begin in Fall 2021 when the Kraken Training Center opens to the public. Goodwin comes from the Vegas Golden Knights where he established their skating program, while Hlinka joins from the Canisius College's Men's Hockey Program in Buffalo, New York where he was an assistant coach. Min was most recently a coach for Sno-King Amateur Hockey Association in Kirkland, Renton and Snoqualmie, and Parker was an assistant coach for the Division I NCAA University of Connecticut Women's Hockey team. The Kraken Training Center will consist of three NHL-sized ice rinks, the Kraken Bar & Grill, and a team store. In addition to skating and hockey lessons, fans will be able to participate in activities, including watching Kraken team practice and attending public skate sessions. The Seattle Kraken are set to play their inaugural season in 2021-2022 at Climate Pledge Arena at Seattle Center, developed by Oak View Group.
