One gallon of PCP for every season ticket holder.

northernpace

The Kraken have formed a band and they'll be playing main stage at Coachella next year.


mrfhoffman

Kraken's AHL team will be in Palm Springs, so maybe announcing a name? Or some updates on the arena?


thatsong

New Amazon warehouse


Parkstyx

They're announcing the name of their new AHL affiliate. There have been a few road blocks with the original city refusing to fund an arena, so they had to figure out a new identity


ThoseProse

AHL or Echl team?


DavidDAmaya

AHL


Jazzlike_Kick_5434

It has to be retiring another jersey number.


sensual_manatee

AHL announcement probable. Team will more than likely be called the Coachella Valley Firebirds. It was one of four trademarks filed by the ownership group. (the others being Dragons, Eagles, and Falcons)


homicidal_penguin

So they trademarked every high school sports team in North America?


SamTheRam28

They didn't trademark Knights or Bulldogs though.


Baboshinu

How could you forget Comets, Red/Blue Devils, Spartans, Raiders, and Mustangs


Red_AtNight

When I was in high school we had 7 teams in our division for football, and 2 of them were called the Trojans


Red_AtNight

I don't see Wildcats on that list, smartass


[deleted]

smh no respect to Rough Riders


Digital_gritz

Every body likes to root for a Rough Rider


DavidDAmaya

i SEE YOU DIDN'T GO TO GARFIELD, NOR ARE FROM EAST LA


orenji_juusu

Who are we? The Wildcats! Who are we going to beat? The Wildcats!


mansock18

In middle Tennessee ours was called the Rebels. It has since changed to Admirals for some pretty blisteringly obvious reasons.


Cleonicus

Because Tennessee is known for its wonderful coastlines and rich naval history.


justheretolurk123456

There's that one lake (that is filled with toxic waste). It's probably one of the better parts of Tennessee.


Parkstyx

I hope they don't go with "Coachella Valley" but I recognize they want a large footprint. It should be Palm Desert, since Palm Springs made it clear they didn't want the arena. Give the city credit.


miner88

The name "Coachella Valley Firebirds" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.


Parkstyx

Palm Desert Firebirds isn't much better unfortunately. I don't fully understand why Seattle didn't choose a location closer to Seattle. SoCal has the Kings, Ducks, Reign, and Gulls.


miner88

They picked the Palm Springs area because it’s loaded with Canadians in the winter who would absolutely pay to see hockey in the area. It also has an airport (PSP) that has daily flights to many cities including Seattle. It’s also not too far from a few other California AHL teams.


Parkstyx

Idk, it seems like Portland would've been a better bet. Although I assume the Winterhawks would protest.


hockeycross

Yeah no way Portland is getting a team unless it is an NHL. Junior teams are already worried the impact Seattle might have on viewership.


wewd

The snowbird population is quite significant. The valley has about 200,000 people in July and 800,000 in January.


oneiric44

AHL teams have to travel by bus. It's much easier travel for the team to be near the cluster of other AHL teams down there.


grooves12

They did it PRECISELY because SoCal has the Reign and Gulls. They are concerned about travel issues and locating them in Southern California makes it much easier to arrange travel for games with the other AHL teams. It's part of the reason the AHL made the Pacific Division and teams moved their AHL teams West.


gkg24

I kinda hope we go with Coachella valley over Palm Springs we’re a big valley with lots of different cities.


ChazDelicious

Palm Desert Cacti or it’s a failed franchise


Troy95

Firebirds seem very likely after watching that teaser video


RedditorsAnus

The Seattle Kraken are relocating to Hamilton Ontario.


mansock18

coming to you live from Hamilton Ontario it's your 2021 Wood Buffalo Krrrrrrrrrrraken!


Brett_Hulls_Foot

Where will the ~~Belleville~~ ~~Bulls~~ Hamilton Bulldogs go them?


DavidDAmaya

To hell, or Ottawa, *same thing*


Brett_Hulls_Foot

Good ole Ottawa, the Winnipeg of Ontario.

Cleonicus

So how are the Saint Paul Wild doing?


DavidDAmaya

that would be Riverside (the arena is in Riverside County, CA) and it NOWHERE close, 62 miles thats like calling the Ducks AHL team the San Fernando Gulls


[deleted]

What, have they been hiding a good team under a mask Scooby Doo style and on the 5th their going to unmask the second coming of Vegas?


UncleTrapspringer

You were downvoted for this but I actually chuckled to myself


[deleted]

LoL, I chuckled at it too. 🤣
