The Seattle Kraken community mourns the loss of founding owner David Bonderman, who passed away at 82. A visionary leader who brought NHL hockey to Seattle, Bonderman's impact extended far beyond sports into business, conservation, and music.

From his humble beginnings as a Space Needle security guard while attending the University of Washington, to becoming the driving force behind the NHL's 32nd franchise, Bonderman's legacy in Seattle is indelible. His passion for the city and belief in sports' ability to unite communities helped create what is now a thriving hockey culture in the Pacific Northwest.

Known affectionately as "Bondo," he was instrumental in preserving historical landmarks, including New York's Grand Central Station, and co-founded TPG Inc., becoming a pioneering figure in private equity. His commitment to conservation and community development leaves a lasting impact on both Seattle and cities across America.

This special episode features reflections from Kraken head coach Dave Hakstol, insights from the Seattle sports community, and tributes from across the NHL, celebrating the life of a man whose vision brought professional hockey to the Emerald City.
