1st Female NHL Coach is Set to Make History Tonight
Tonight, as the Seattle Kraken hit the ice, a historic event is set to unfold. The Kraken will be missing their usual bench boss, as they extend a special invitation to Jessica Campbell, Assistant Coach of the Coachella Valley Firebirds. Campbell will be joining the coaching staff for the Kraken's matchup against the Calgary Flames.
Jessica Campbell's presence marks a historic moment as she is believed to be the first woman to coach an NHL game. While women have previously held various roles within the NHL, including training positions, Campbell's role as an NHL coach during a pre-season game is a groundbreaking achievement.
