In a historic move, Jessica Campbell, an assistant coach for the AHL's Firebirds, took her place behind the bench for the Seattle Krakens in a preseason game against the Calgary Flames.
Campbell's presence is part of a growing trend, as more women are breaking barriers and coaching in the NHL. Kori Cheverie, head coach of the PWHL Montreal, recently made history by coaching with the Penguins as well.
In a tweet, the Krakens expressed their honor in having Jessica Campbell on board for the game, recognizing the importance of her work with the team.
