The Seattle Kraken faced a disappointing end to their homestand, losing 6-1 to the San Jose Sharks. Ryan Winterton scored late in the first period to tie the game, but the Sharks dominated with five consecutive goals. In women's hockey, Seattle announced its new PWHL team name, the Torrent, drawing inspiration from the state's rivers, while Vancouver's team will be named the Goldeneyes, after a bird common in northern climates. Both teams will meet on opening day, set for November 21. In high school sports, Lynden secured the 2A district volleyball title by sweeping Sehome, with both teams advancing to the state tournament next week.

Additionally, Sehome's girls soccer team clinched the 2A district title with a 4-3 win over Anacortes. Lynden Christian also won the 1A district championship, defeating Nooksack Valley 1-0. Several local teams are gearing up for the state tournament, highlighting the competitive spirit in Whatcom County.
