The Seattle Kraken will have their own original song from Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer this season, a team spokesperson told Axios Thursday.
Why it matters: The Kraken enlisted a Hollywood composer — who scored music for "Inception" and “Gladiator," among other blockbuster films — for their intro and promotional music, which is a rare occurrence in professional sports.
Happy Sports Equinox! Thursday is the 27th time in history that the "Big Four" leagues (NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB) are all in action on the same day.
The big picture: There was a 16-year period (1985-2001) without a single Sports Equinox. But now that "Thursday Night Football" is a fixture, the World Series starts later, and the NBA season starts earlier, they're much more frequent.
