Lynch told NHL.com:

On God, I’ve been a part of a lot of things…but this is something I never would have imagined. As a young hyena I always dreamed of playing on a professional team but owning one is something special.

As I look back on some of my accomplishments – I retired before I was 30 and now being an owner of a professional club at the age of 35 – I’m gonna continue to count my blessings. Being a part of the Seattle Kraken is something big for me.

It gives me another chance to get a ring after helping bring the first NFL one to the city. And if you thought I was goin’ somewhere, nah Seattle, I’m here! Stand up!!!!
