Description
Maya Chan, 10, is the latest Olympian-to-be leaving it all on the ice in Renton.
“Well mostly my future was to be able to plan on the U.S. women’s team,” Chan said. “Some kids in my school play hockey here. Some talk about the Kraken and hockey, I feel like it’s new because it’s the Kraken's second year and not a lot of people know about it.”
As the Seattle Kraken make their first playoff run in the team's two-year history, the team’s success is ushering along the next generation of players.
“We have seen an uptick in our registration, and we will continue to ride that wave – the farther they get in the playoffs the better we do and for many years to come,” former NHL player Jamie Huscroft said.
