The Seattle Kraken ended a nine-game losing streak in dramatic fashion Monday, downing Chicago 3-2 in a shootout…

After a scoreless first period, the Blackhawks broke the ice at the 12:06 mark of the second. Seattle fought back twice to tie it and send it to overtime and the eventual shootout…

Coach Dave Hakstol says it was a relief to finally have the scoreboard reflect how hard the guys have been working to get a win…

Wild hope to host Cranbrook Thursday and Friday
The Wenatchee Wild are hoping to finally get back on the ice for some hockey this week…

Wenatchee is scheduled for games against Cranbrook this Thursday and Friday after COVID restrictions forced Wenatchee out of five games since the first of the year. Interim radio “voice” of the Wild, Sean Zears, says at least Wenatchee wasn’t alone in having games lost to the pandemic…

Zears joined us this morning on Wake Up Wenatchee Valley to talk all-things Wild. Cade Littler was named the high school player of the month for December and Wenatchee made a move to get Parker Murray in a trade a little over a week ago…

Wenatchee’s scheduled to face Cranbrook Thursday at 6 and Friday at 7:05 at the Town Toyota Center. Go to Wenatchee Wild Hockey dot com to get tickets.
