Now, at the request of a dear friend, the musical icon created a soundtrack specifically for the #SeaKraken https://t.co/7cqrbLJQKv pic.twitter.com/hy4FtfHPho— Seattle Kraken (@SeattleKraken) October 20, 2022 Zimmer said that he tried to imagine the Kraken in the context of a movie with the players getting ready to do battle on the ice. "When Jerry says do something for the team, I have to go and make a movie in my head," Zimmer said. In September, Zimmer sent the finished eight-minute track to Townsend, and she played it for the first time on her speakers at home. Instantly, she new Zimmer had made something special.

Seattle used its Hollywood connections to give fans a unique experience at Climate Pledge Arena
By Austin Nivison Oct 21, 2022 at 5:28 pm ET • 1 min read Getty Images Having Hollywood connections within their ownership group is already paying dividends for the Seattle Kraken. With some help from co-owner Jerry Bruckheimer, the Kraken were able to get legendary composer Hans Zimmer to score a soundtrack for the team. Bruckheimer, one of the most famous movie producers in American history, threw out the idea of asking a "friend" to compose a score for the second-year Seattle hockey club during a summer meeting, according to Kraken chief marketing office Katie Townsend. As it turned out, that friend was Zimmer, who has composed iconic scores for music like The Lion King, Dune, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Interstellar, and so many others. Bruckheimer met with Zimmer in London and asked him to compose something for the Kraken. Zimmer agreed, and he got to work. From Pirates of the Caribbean to the Dark Knight, Oscar-winning composer @HansZimmer has scored soundtracks for some of Hollywood's top films.Now, at the request of a dear friend, the musical icon created a soundtrack specifically for the #SeaKraken https://t.co/7cqrbLJQKv pic.twitter.com/hy4FtfHPho— Seattle Kraken (@SeattleKraken) October 20, 2022 Zimmer said that he tried to imagine the Kraken in the context of a movie with the players getting ready to do battle on the ice.
