In ROOT sports news, the Portland Trailblazers also announced the move to ROOT sports. So another team added the the lineup. Not sure how they will handle nights/times where Kraken & Blzers overlap- geolocation?

I've read there will be different channels.

Though, quite strange, IMO, given all the speculation about NBA expansion and Seattle being a lock for one of those teams.

I remember the dude from when he played on the Bolts. Would you mind giving us some info on why you like him as a hire? Knowing more about him would be great.

Can't wait - Born and bred Canuck fan but I'm so looking forward to cheer on a new team.

outside of his obvious experience as a player of the game, he’s also known for his twitch streaming (which is essentially color commentary) & engagement in community outreach with regard to BIPOC & LGBTQ+ advocacy in the hockey community. having a visible, vocal, active ally in such a high level of the team’s identity underscores Seattle’s commitment to being a forward-thinking franchise focused on pulling this league into the 21st century, and I’m 100% here for it.
