Seattle is buzzing with anticipation as the Seattle Kraken's Development Camp 2026 opens its doors to a select group of prospects from across the globe. The annual event, held at the team's training facility, serves as a crucible where raw talent is tested against the rigors of professional hockey.
Among them is Ryden Evers, a 21‑year‑old forward from Burnaby, British Columbia. Though undrafted, Evers earned a contract after impressing coaches with his relentless work ethic and versatile scoring ability.
Swedish defenseman Loke Krantz, 19, arrives after being selected in the seventh round of the 2025 draft. Hailing from Enköping, he brings a blend of size and offensive flair that the Kraken hope will translate into NHL readiness.
Also on the ice is William Tomko, an 19‑year‑old from McMurray, Pennsylvania, who was chosen in the seventh round of the 2026 Entry Draft. His physical style and defensive acumen have already drawn praise from the coaching staff.
