Seattle’s new National Hockey League franchise doesn’t have a name yet and won’t take the ice for another two years, but the team already passed a key business milestone.
The Seattle _______s have their first corporate sponsor: life-insurance firm Symetra Financial Corp. The Bellevue, Washington-based company will have its logo all over the team’s new arena, along with naming rights to one of the building’s two club areas.
