The HottestTEAM

The AHL Coachella Valley Firebirds, owned jointly by Oak View Group and the Seattle Kraken ownership group, takes its inspiration as a spiritual descendant of the Kraken — a creature born of myth and legend — where the Kraken is hidden in the deep dark ocean below, the Firebird rises out of the flames of the desert to soar high above. In this spirit, the Firebirds embody the yang to the Kraken’s yin, opposites that complete each other — fire and ice, sea and desert.
