Jordan Eberle Named Seattle Kraken Captain

The Seattle Kraken have named Jordan Eberle as their second captain in franchise history, filling the last captaincy vacancy among NHL's 32 teams since the 2010-11 season. Eberle, one of the original players from the Kraken's inaugural 2021 team, has been a significant leader, holding the alternate captain position for three seasons. With a career spanning over 1,000 NHL games, Eberle has been pivotal on the ice, contributing to the team's success with his scoring and leadership skills. His appointment follows the departure of the previous captain, Mark Giordano, and comes as a natural choice due to his role model status and dedication, both on and off the ice. The Kraken also have four alternate captains: Adam Larsson, Jaden Schwartz, Yanni Gourde, and Matty Beniers. This decision marks a new era for the team as they begin the 2024-25 season.
