SEATTLE (AP) — It didn’t take long for Mark Giordano to get years of seeing red out of his system. Give an assist to his wife for making sure Seattle Kraken blue has been the dominant color for him ever since Giordano was selected by the NHL’s newest franchise in the league’s expansion draft over the summer. Giordano and the rest of the Kraken’s roster hit the ice for the first time as a team with the start of training camp Thursday. While Seattle’s roster is a mix of veterans and some young talent looking for an opportunity, no one on the roster comes close to Giordano’s years on the ice. Seattle Kraken players Mason Appleton (22) and Ryker Evans fight for the puck during NHL hockey training camp at Kraken Community Iceplex on Thursday, Sept. 23, 2021, in Seattle.
