The Seattle Kraken are set to make history on the ice tonight as they welcome an unprecedented addition to their coaching staff. In an extraordinary move, the Kraken have extended an invitation to Jessica Campbell, Assistant Coach of the Coachella Valley Firebirds, to join their coaching staff for their upcoming clash against the Calgary Flames.
This significant development marks a groundbreaking moment in the NHL as Jessica Campbell is believed to be the first woman to coach an NHL game. While women have played essential roles within the NHL in various capacities, Campbell's appointment as an NHL coach during a pre-season game is a historic first.
Jessica Campbell's remarkable achievement is a testament to her dedication and expertise in the world of hockey. Her success with the Coachella Valley Firebirds last season paved the way for this momentous occasion, and her contributions to the sport deserve our heartfelt congratulations.
