So by convention, the team name is generally treated as a plural, even if it is a singular form, such as Miami Heat, Minnesota Wild, etc. DJSasso ( talk) 20:51, 23 July 2020 (UTC) Reply It's actually even more complicated than that! In American English, we generally say "The Seahawks are." but "Seattle is." (when referring to the team) and "The team is.". Your conference example however, is more complicated as it would be considered a singular piece of a whole league for example. But as you say in some contexts, like the one you quote, it is not uncommon to use its as though it is referring to a singular. ThornyIgloo ( talk) 19:34, 23 July 2020 (UTC) Reply Jmj713 is correct, this is actually an WP:ENGVAR issue, in North America using are to refer to the team is correct because a singular group of individual items is considered plural (ie a team). Given the way team is used on other pages, there does seem to be disagreement between articles. In this case, "Seattle Kraken" is a single entity, as is "Colorado Avalanche". Also, as I think on this more I recall the verb should usually agree with the subject rather than the object. In addition, take for example Southeastern Conference: "The Southeastern Conference (SEC) is an American college athletic conference whose member institutions are located primarily in the South Central and Southeastern United States." Despite a conference being a group of people, it is used in the singular, as there can be multiple conferences just as there can be multiple teams. Jmj713 ( talk) 17:50, 23 July 2020 (UTC) Reply I see what you are saying, but in Colorado Avalanche I also notice the following sentence: "As a result, they are the only active NHL team that has won all of its Stanley Cup Final appearances." In this case, team is being treated as singular. See also: Colorado Avalanche, for instance. Should this be "is" instead, or is there a particular convention for verbs with team names? - ThornyIgloo ( talk) 17:46, 23 July 2020 (UTC) Reply A team is a group of people, so it should be plural.

The first sentence of the article states "The Seattle Kraken are a professional ice hockey expansion team that will be based in Seattle, and will begin play in the 2021–22 National Hockey League (NHL) season." However, both "Kraken" and "team" are singular nouns.

California Golden Seals to Denver and Pittsburgh Penguins to Seattle. According to sources the 2 teams in 1976 were supposed to be relocations of existing franchises. Located another (better) source re the 1976 "expansion". (And in same year the Denver expansion franchise ceased to be as both a WHA team and an existing NHL team relocated to Denver).
Vince Abby went to sue the NHL over the mess they lost the lawsuit and ended up paying the Canucks $600,000 in damages. The NHL had awarded a tenative franchise June 1974 but this was quickly revoked in 1975. At the time the NHL had a system in principle to add two new teams every two years to combat the rival WHA but the influx of terrible teams in both leagues cause many franchises to continuously move year after year.
There never was a true expansion team in 1976.
