Overview
- A partnership announced Tuesday between Seattle and Sportsology launches an external audit that the team says is already underway.
- The firm is assessing structure, decision-making, scouting, player development, analytics, coaching, sports science and medical support, resources, and NHL–AHL alignment.
- The work runs alongside the club’s end-of-season review to inform June draft plans and free-agent choices.
- The review follows Ron Francis’s departure from the front office, with GM Jason Botterill reported as leading day-to-day hockey decisions during the transition.
- Sportsology is led by former Chelsea executive Mike Forde and lists the Rams, 49ers, Eagles, Mavericks, and Wizards among past clients.
