Ice hockey fans will now be able to purchase tickets to watch the Coachella Valley Firebirds for the first time. 

The Coachella Valley Firebirds franchise is the American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate of the National Hockey League (NHL)’s Seattle Kraken. 

This is the first public on-sale in the new franchise’s history, with fans now able to buy tickets for a match against Abbotsford at the new home of the Seattle Kraken, Climate Pledge Arena (pictured). 

The Seattle Kraken played its first home game at the 18,000-capacity venue in October last year.
