Kraken trying to help revive hockey at Alaska Anchorage
February 26, 2021 GMT
SEATTLE (AP) Even before playing their first game as a franchise, the Seattle Kraken are trying to help revive a college hockey program more than 1,000 miles from their home rink.
The team announced Friday it has raised $150,000 from team and individual investors as part of a challenge gift in an effort to save the program at Alaska Anchorage.
Plans to eliminate the hockey program at Alaska Anchorage were announced in 2020 as part of state budget cuts. Supporters of the program Save Seawolf Hockey have raised more than $1.8 million of the estimated $3 million needed to cover two years of operating expenses for the hockey program while providing time to establish long-term financial plans.
