Coming Next Year to the N.H.L.: The Seattle Kraken


Seattle’s expansion National Hockey League team will be known as the Kraken.

The team unveiled the name on Thursday along with the new logo, a stylized blue “S” with an intimidating looking red eye.

“We have not defined what the kraken looks like, but you know it’s there from the eye,” said Jay Deutsch, a co-owner of the team, in a telephone interview. “The kraken is watching.”

A kraken is a legendary sea monster of Norse mythology. Its use in English dates to the 18th century and it is mentioned by the poets Alfred Tennyson and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and in Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick.”
