Seattle Kraken host Indigenous Peoples Night, announce other celebration nights

The Seattle Kraken will be celebrating Indigenous Peoples Night during the game on Dec. 6 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. 

Throughout the game, there will be various moments highlighting the Indigenous community, including a performance by the Muckleshoot Canoe Family.

This is one of five Hockey is for Everyone (HIFE) games where the team is working with a local artist to create specialty warmup jerseys, and a line of merchandise to benefit the Kraken and Climate Pledge Arena’s foundation, One Roof Foundation. 

Fox Spears designed the jerseys for Indigenous Peoples Night. He is a Karuk tribal member, and the design was inspired by traditional Karuk basketry and patterns. The square shape of the design is a reference to the square drums created by the Karuk people. 

Spears’ designs will also be featured on additional apparel including a T-shirt, hoodie, and hat available for purchase at the Kraken teams stores.

Throughout the rest of the season, the Kraken will partner with more local artists to bring four additional HIFE nights:

  • Feb. 24: Black History Month Night
  • March 19: Women of Hockey Night
  • April 9: Pride Night
  • April 20: Green Night
