MORE: NHL Phase 2 details
A post shared by Jeff Bezos (@jeffbezos) on Jun 25, 2020 at 11:00am PDT
Bezos penned a statement on Instagram:
Fans currently have the name of the stadium, but not the name of the franchise. If they’re still looking for nicknames, here are a few that are available: the Supersonics, Pilots, Primes and Kraken.
Key Arena, located in the Seattle Center, has been home to the Seattle Supersonics (now Oklahoma City Thunder) and is the future home of the Seattle Storm of the WNBA. The building was most recently named the KeyArena between 1995 and 2008.
Opened in 1962, the building will be home ice to the unnamed Seattle NHL franchise once renovations are completed. The building was last used in 2018.
Twitter, as always, chimed in with the climate-conscious name:
Seattle’s NHL franchise will take the ice in 2021.
