Andy Eide, Kraken insider for Seattle Sports and a longtime hockey writer for SeattleSports.com, is currently hospitalized after suffering a stroke on Saturday.
Hockey followers have read Andy’s coverage here on SeattleSports.com dating back to 2012, when he started covering the Seattle Thunderbirds of the WHL for the website. He moved onto the Kraken beat for Seattle Sports when the expansion team joined the NHL for the 2021-22 season. He also writes regularly for NHL.com, the official Kraken website and Sound of Hockey, and is also known for his work as a hockey podcaster, regular guest on the Seattle Sports airwaves, and an analyst for Thunderbirds TV broadcasts.
Sound of Hockey shared details on Andy’s status in a series of tweets Monday, which you can read below.
Hi everybody, we have some difficult news to share.
