When the Seattle Kraken decided to revamp the thematic elements of their pregame introduction during the offseason, Hollywood filmmaker Jerry Bruckheimer, part of the Kraken ownership group, said he had a friend who might be willing to do a favor and provide a grandiose soundtrack of music building to a crescendo as the players hit the ice and would accompany the video production. That friend: Grammy and Oscar Award winning composer Hans Zimmer. (Photo by Vianney Le Caer/Invision/AP, File)
