SEATTLE, Wash. — The next man to lead the Seattle Kraken has been announced.
The team announced Toronto Maple Leafs associate coach Lane Lambert will become the Kraken’s third head coach in franchise history.

“I’m so excited to become the head coach of the Seattle Kraken,” said Lambert. “When it came time to writing a new chapter, I couldn’t think of a better fit. Seattle is an incredible sports town, and I’ve been impressed by the energy of the fans every time I’ve been there as a visiting coach.
