Seattle Kraken: NHL teams, players react to league's newest addition
The other teams were very welcoming to the Kraken

The NHL's newest addition officially has a name: The Seattle Kraken. The team made the shift from "Seattle NHL team" to the Kraken on Thursday during an unveiling event at their future home, the Climate Pledge Arena.
The colors of ice blue and navy with red accents plays into the the franchise's nautical theme while the logos pay homage to the city by including the Space Needle.
"Release the Kraken" and "Let's get Kraken" are already catching on as slogans for the league's 32nd franchise, which will start playing games next season.
Whenever there's a new addition, it's good to welcome them and make them feel at home, and that's just what the rest of the NHL is doing with the Kraken.
The city of Brotherly Love is showing some of that love to the "newbies."
Just a little tough Brotherly Love for the newbies.
