Newsradio KONP has secured the rights to broadcast Seattle Kraken hockey games.  Hockey fans on the north Olympic Peninsula and Vancouver Island will be able to follow the NHL expansion team in its inaugural season on local radio.

Everett Fitzhugh serves as the team’s radio play-by-play announcer. Fitzhugh had previously done play-by-play for the ECHL’s Cincinnati Cyclones. He is the first full-time play-by-play announcer of African-American heritage in NHL history.

The games will be heard on AM 1450 and FM 101.7 (Port Angeles)/FM 101.3 (Sequim). The Kraken broadcasts on KONP are being made possible by Leitz Farm Supply.

The first broadcast is Tuesday October 12th at 6:30 pm against the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
