The arena plan calls for groundbreaking in May near Palm Desert, aiming for completion in time for the 2022-23 American Hockey League season.

The Seattle Kraken announced the organization’s plans for a state-of-the-art sports and entertainment arena for southern California’s Coachella Valley, which will serve as the home of the Kraken’s AHL franchise beginning in 2022.

A 10,000-seat arena being built in downtown Palm Springs will also have an adjacent training center the AHL team will be headquartered in — with both facilities providing two sheets of ice for use by the team and community.

The AHL’s 32nd team will be located in Palm Springs, Calif., and will begin play as the primary development affiliate of the NHL’s expansion Seattle franchise in the fall of 2021.
