Hockey games are loud. And they start at odd times. 7:00 PM is standard. But 7:38 PM? That happens. The NHL likes to stagger puck drops by two minutes. It’s a conspiracy to make you overthink.
Seattle Game Time: Dont Miss Kickoff
Fun fact: The Kraken’s arena, Climate Pledge Arena, is carbon neutral. So while you’re screaming at the ice, you’re also saving the planet. Green hockey! The game time might be 7:00 PM, but the green energy runs all night.
And here’s the kicker: Kraken games often go to overtime. So the “start time” is a suggestion. You’ll be up until 10:30 PM, eating popcorn, wondering where your evening went.
The Sounders: Soccer, But Make It Seattle
Soccer games are weird. They start at 7:30 PM or 2:00 PM. Sometimes Wednesday. Sometimes Saturday. The Sounders are unpredictable like that.
But here’s the fun part: Sounders fans do the “March to the Match.” Thousands walk through Pioneer Square to the stadium. It’s a parade. The game time is when the march ends. That’s the real answer.
And playoff games? Those are wild. They’re often mid-week at 7:00 PM. You’ll be at work, checking your phone. Your boss will see you. They’ll nod. They understand.
