The Kansas City Mavericks enter the 2026-27 ECHL season as one of the league's most successful teams of the past several years. Kansas City is affiliated with the Seattle Kraken and the AHL's Coachella Valley Firebirds, giving Kraken fans another professional level of the organization to follow.
The Mavericks are coming off a 2025-26 season in which they won the Brabham Cup as ECHL regular-season champions and advanced to the Kelly Cup Final. Kansas City has now reached two Finals in three seasons.

That recent success makes the Mavericks especially interesting for Seattle fans following organizational development. Kansas City plays at Cable Dahmer Arena and is led by Tad O'Had, who won the 2025-26 John Brophy Award as ECHL Coach of the Year.
How To Watch Kansas City Mavericks In 2026-27
Kansas City Mavericks games can be watched live and on demand on FloHockey throughout the 2026-27 season. FloHockey is the leaguewide video platform for ECHL regular-season and postseason games.
That gives Kraken fans a way to follow Kansas City throughout the regular season and into the Kelly Cup Playoffs.
Why Kraken Fans Should Watch Kansas City Mavericks
The Seattle Kraken → Coachella Valley Firebirds → Kansas City Mavericks structure gives Seattle another professional destination for organizational depth.
What separates Kansas City from many ECHL affiliates is its recent competitive environment. The Mavericks went 55-12-5 with 115 points in 2025-26 when overtime and shootout losses are combined. They defeated Fort Wayne in six games for the Western Conference championship before losing to Florida in six games in the Kelly Cup Final.
The season also included a historic individual performance. Defenseman Marcus Crawford became the first defenseman in ECHL history to win the league scoring title, finishing with 86 points on 14 goals and 72 assists. His 2026-27 Kansas City status, however, is not confirmed in the research.
For Kraken fans, the development angle is straightforward: monitor assignments following Seattle and Coachella Valley's training camps. No specific Kraken prospect is confirmed for Kansas City, but players who are assigned there would enter an ECHL organization coming off a Brabham Cup and two Kelly Cup Final appearances in three seasons.
