Seattle NHL franchise plans to announce their name “sooner than later”

While the NHL is on lockdown due to Covid-19, the league’s latest expansion franchise is still getting down to business.

The latest reports suggest that the team is eager to move forward, and hopes they will be able to announce the nickname of their franchise “sooner than later”.

General manager Ron Francis spoke about it during a live Twitter broadcast late last week.

“We’re still going through that process with the League, working hard on the trademark and the legal process,” said Francis.

“Trust me when I say it, our people are really working hard, and as soon as we’ve completed it, we’ll look at how our community is doing and when is the right time to announce that name.”

The team will make its NHL debut during the 2021/2022 season.
