Seattle Kraken stars visit Anchorage for youth hockey camp and community days
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – Kids 12 and under are lacing up their skates this week with a little extra help.
The Seattle Kraken of the National Hockey League returned to Anchorage for the third year in a row, hosting community events in partnership with the Bristol Bay Native Corporation.
In many ways, Seattle is just down the street from Anchorage, said BBNC president and CEO Jason Metrokin. Having the team and players hang out in Anchorage and get to know our state is just a great way to build that connection and that relationship that we hope will last a long time.
Youth coaches affiliated with the organization, in addition to defenseman Jamie Oleksiak, team mascot Buoy and the Anchorage Hockey Association, will host hockey practices at the 8, 10 and 12U levels in the coming week, giving the youth the opportunity to learn from a former first-round draft selection.
It was really cool getting to know the city and everyone's hockey journey, Oleksiak said. It's nice to be able to take the time and really talk to everyone and get a feel for the community and what not. It was a really cool experience.
In addition to the practice, fans and families had the opportunity to take photos and get autographs at the team's community barbecue on June 16.
It's great, you don't see it often, supporting the states that don't have an NHL team, said event attendee Christopher Donahue. It's always good to see some of these big boys coming down.
The newest franchise in league history, the Kraken, began play in 2021, with Oleksiak joining the squad via the expansion draft after spending time with the Dallas Stars and Pittsburgh Penguins. But despite the team's young age, the hope is that events and partnerships like this can lead to more.
There is talk of possibly bringing an NHL game to the state of Alaska. I don't know the possibilities of that, but we would love to host an NHL game, Metrokin said. Maybe one day that dream will become reality.
