New Fan Primer

Hey everyone, my son is 8yo and decided he likes the newest NHL franchise, the Seattle Kraken.

Obviously the franchise itself has limited history, but I was wondering if anyone could share links or stories about the “history” of the players and coaching staff/management.

Sorry if something like this was already done and I missed it!
