The Kraken have added former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch and rapper Macklemore as minority stakeholders in the franchise’s ownership group, according to a report from CNBC.
“This is something I never would have imagined. I always dreamed of playing on a professional team but owning one is something special,” Lynch said in a statement. “As I look back on some of my accomplishments–I retired before I was 30 and now being an owner of a professional club at the age of 35–I’m going to continue to count my blessings.”
The Kraken joined the NHL as an expansion franchise in 2021.
