SEATTLE — A presentation was taking place inside a conference room at the Seattle Kraken’s practice facility when one of the doors began to slowly open.<\/p>\n

Panic began taking shape at that moment.<\/p>\n

This forced a 6-foot-tall, furry, blue troll with an anchor hoop earring dangling on his left side and a blue tentacle hanging from his right ear to find a hiding spot. It made everyone else inside the room burst into laughter, right after the person who tried going into the room was told it was not a good time.<\/p>\n

Now you know the lengths the Kraken are willing to go to keep a secret.<\/p>\n

At that time, less than 50 people on the planet had even seen Buoy. That changed Saturday when the Kraken introduced their mascot to the rest of the world by having him rappel from the Climate Pledge Arena rafters before a preseason game against the Vancouver Canucks.<\/p>\n

It was no secret the Kraken were going to have a mascot. Everything else, however, was a mystery. Nobody knew what name they would choose or what the mascot would even look like, until now.<\/p>\n
