Career achievements
[edit]Retired numbers
[edit]The Seattle Kraken have retired one jersey number.[15] The number 32 was retired by the team on October 23, 2021, in recognition of the team being the 32nd to join the NHL and in honor of the 32,000 fans who placed deposits for tickets on the first possible day.[16]
Also out of circulation is the number 99, which was retired league-wide for Wayne Gretzky on February 6, 2000.[17]
Team awards
[edit]The Kraken have four team awards that they give out to members of their team at the end of each season. The Pete Muldoon Award is given to the team's most valuable player. The 3 Stars of the Year Award is an annual award which is given to the player who earned the most three stars of the game honors following each Kraken home game. The Guyle Fielder Award is an annual award which is given to the player "who best exemplifies 'perseverance, hustle and dedication' associated with a Seattle hockey legend." The award's namesake played 15 professional seasons with Seattle Totems of the Western Hockey League. The Fan Favorite Award is determined by a vote of the Kraken's fans.[18]
