like they brought golf clubs in the room. they had her record videos. they DMd her to stop her from talking to police. eight of them were there. do u know how consciously vile u have to be to think to do that shit. these men are deeply evil and hell will truly not be hot enough.

can confirm kraken equipment staff are girls girls!!!!!
Turns out the equipment staff aren’t just here for the players, they’re also on site to help PR reps whose heels break at the arena 😅. (The mission was a success, thanks to Kris!)

I was feeling a little uninspired so I decided to make a collage of all the NHL teams’ IG looks for this season. sometimes it feels like #smsports looks and strategies can be a little monotonous so I wanted to see how each club tackles a platform as visual as IG #sportsdesign

I will be quiet about the cup soon & I know this is a shabz stan account already but fr i’m so grateful I get to work with someone so creative & fun who gets me & who truly wants to give our fans the best experience & coolest shit she can. we are all just so lucky to have her!!!.
This summer I asked @katiespence if she could make “a Starbucks cup with Kraken all over it” and she came back with this. She truly is one of the most talented designers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She absolutely cooked on this. Please tell her thank you!!!

going up for pizza but staying for ten minutes to witness a sex crime? staying silent about what he saw for six years? yes he should. hope that helps xx
A player on Canada’s 2018 World Junior team who was present in a London, ON hotel room during an alleged sexual assault told police in their initial investigation he was not a participant and left the room unsure of what he witnessed. From @rwesthead:

thread kind of got out of hand but my point is (as a gal especially, but also in general) in this industry you will notice the people that see you when they don’t have to. and im happy that jared is one of those people, and that our team, truthfully, is full of guys like him.
ok like listen there is a very real reason i love jared mccann and it is not just because he is an Extremely Good Hockey Player for the Seattle Kraken! on our first media day being a new team/still in covid world it was obvi like one of the first times everyone really met irl —.

media day can be a lot of awkward conversation largely bc it’s a long day for the guys full of stuff they don’t really wanna do with people they don’t really know. jared, nhl player, went out of his way to make ME, random employee, feel like i belonged there.

(ftr I also asked him about being on the kraken and what he was looking forward to and he told me that it was exciting to have a fresh start and that here there was no big star so everyone had a chance to be “the guy.” i’m very happy jared has been the guy!!!).

so much more to say about the season to come but getting to work with shabz to make these towels for y’all was one of my favorite parts of the postseason — i only wish y’all could’ve seen what we had in store for the WCF.
Also respectfully we had the best rally towels in the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season and it wasn’t even close. Custom ice blue color and new towel every game. Many can’t say the same. Wasn’t easy but absolutely worth it 🔥

working with grubi and shabz to make these steins was so fun but the magic of our incredible and deeply unserious social team’s promo has been the cherry on top i am so blessed!!!.
Who’s ready to celebrate Grubi-fest?! . The first 10k fans at Wednesday’s game will receive a Grubi Stein that was designed in partnership with the German Gentleman himself. Prost!

it was like 5 mins of small talk & I know the bar is in hell but he treated me like a human person when he didnt even have to acknowledge I existed & especially in that environment it’s a small thing that made a very lasting first impression on me and i will root for him forever.

i was on bts trying to be helpful but also out of my depth & nervy abt getting in the way. i was minding my biz at a set while jared was waiting & he turned to me and introduced himself. asked how my day was going, where i came from and why i wanted to work for the kraken.
