The team is controlled by majority owner David Bonderman who paid a $650 million expansion fee to join the league.
That's up from the $500 million expansion fee the Las Vegas Golden Knights paid in 2016 to join the NHL.
In an interview with CNBC, Kraken CEO Tod Leiweke said Lynch and Macklemore first expressed an interest in joining the franchise as investors last summer. The deal was eventually finalized by the NHL this month. "For us, we didn't need additional investors, but the thing that attracted us to these guys was their interest in community activism through this organization, and that's a big deal," said Leiweke, who is also an investor with the Kraken.The franchise said Lynch would participate in the"Hockey is for Everyone" – a campaign the NHL uses to drive diversity and inclusion awareness. In addition, Leiweke said Lynch would shadow the CEO to learn the hockey business.
