A first in the league's history: A woman coaches a team in the NHL
Jessica Campbell's journey in the world of professional hockey is simply remarkable. Last year, she became the first woman to coach in the American League, accepting a position alongside Dan Bylsma with the Seattle Kraken's farm team, the Coachella Firebirds.
Moreover, the former head coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins has highly praised his assistant, indicating that she has a natural talent for coaching.
She has knowledge, experience, and a talent that players can see and understand, and they know that if they listen, they can improve in what they do. This was evident from the start and has reflected in some of the results we have achieved. - Dan Bylsma
However, last night, in a game where the Seattle Kraken faced the Calgary Flames, the 31-year-old woman made NHL history by becoming the very first woman behind the bench of a team in the NHL.
Wow! A thoroughly deserved achievement!
It's very encouraging to see advancements like this, hoping that it becomes more common in the coming years.
