Hockey writer leaks hefty prices from the Kraken's new arena.

The National Hockey League's newest fan base certainly won't be getting any new member discounts when it comes to their choice of beverages at the game.

On Saturday the Professional Hockey Writers Association's Rob Williams was on hand at Climate Pledge Arena, the home of the Seattle Kraken, when he decided to share some information with the wider hockey fan base. Williams snapped a photo of what I suspect he felt were the elevated beverage prices being offered to what in theory are the league's newest fans. To be clear Williams himself offered no opinion on the prices, but simply shared the image online and allowed others to do so.

Here's a look:

There are some very notable highlights on this list, but here are just a few:

A can of Aquafina for a whopping $7.

A "Life Water" for a reasonable $9.

A decision to swap to a soda will save you a buck, coming in at only $8.

A Coffee from Starbucks for $10 which seems pretty standard for Starbucks, so that's good.

A domestic can of beer is a mere $13.

A step up in quality will have you coughing up $16.50 for a can of craft beer, but at least you can feel fancy.

Of course all of these prices are all listed in USD, which means that any Canadians coming down for a game can expect to fork over even more of their hard earned money. Justin McElroy of CBC Vancouver did a quick conversion on the craft beer, and that would bring the cost to over $20 Canadian for anyone coming down from north of the border. This is particularly relevant as no doubt the NHL will be looking to foster the rivalry between the Kraken and their neighbors to the north the Vancouver Canucks.

It must be noted that the Kraken have pledged themselves to what they are calling The Climate Collective. The program aims to source 75% of all ingredients used in the arena from within a 300 mile radius, a project undertaken to achieve the venue's environmentally-conscious objectives. They have even managed to secure an agreement from both Pepsi and Coors Light regarding the use of single use plastic products in the arena. This has no doubt impacted many, if not all, of the prices on display here.
