DC guy, first week of ’24 I spent falling in love with Seattle for the first time & seeing 2x (+ last night in DC!) how incredible it is at playing and supporting this sport. Thank y’all for such a welcoming, contagious group and starting my ’24 great and making me excited to wear the colors! JoEYYY

There isn’t nearly enough space in the title for me to say all my thoughts but as a hockey fan I couldn’t be happier finally seeing Seattle’s long needed presence in the NHL turn out this good so fast, I just had to make my first time on the west coast this amazing event, and it turned into being able to see Lord Stanley for the first time, going to a game at CPA which was awesome as hell, and them just happening to play at DC shortly after my trip which made me go see them, cause this team’s been winning me over so hard lately. All 3 games I happily blurted out LETS GO KRAKEN and JoEEEEEEEEEEY chants with y’all. Seeing the team and Joey perform so well makes me happy.
I was already excited for y’all, I saw their first DC game in ’22, and I was pumped for their run last year. They couldn’t have had a better time to surge again, and I couldn’t have been more blessed to be there for that wonderful week for it, let alone with solid weather in Seattle. I saw the Needle and ended up seeing a bunch of my local friends, there is a million reasons why this definitely won’t be my last time around there, the city was awesome to me my whole trip and I’ll always look back on it with great fondness. I can’t easily say that I’m a full-on comitted fan now, but I saw that S so much that week I saw it damn near every time I closed my eyes before bed, I am fully in love with this squad at the least. The team and city put on a heck of a show inside the WC and out (y’all deserve an ASG here and y’all will get one soon enough!), I’m rooting for y’all to have another strong run and bring the Cup back to the first US city that got it a century ago, as it deserves!
Edit: Damn I never posted my stash I got from CPA! I already loved the teams logos and colors but this trip made me love being dropped out in them! https://imgur.com/a/Uiux7XD (also the book and hat from the WC)
They had the cup at the WC!? Now I’m extra jealous.
That hat! Where did you snag it? Definitely interested. Glad you had a good time in Seattle!! šš
