The Seattle Kraken have hired Steve Briere to serve as their new goaltending coach and Jessica Campbell to serve as an assistant coach on Dan Bylsma's staff with the Coachella Valley Firebirds. FOX13
Jessica Campbell becomes the first female coach to work in the American Hockey League.
"When I was looking for a staff to lead the team, to lead the players, I wanted to find a person with passion, with a knowledge for the game, with experience in the game, and one that could relay it to the players and get in on a plan with them and develop them as a player and that's where Jess' skill and talent came into play. And I'm just super excited to have Jess on the staff with us in Coachella," Bylsma said.
Bylsma said Campbell's name kept coming up in his conversations with other coaches and people around hockey as someone to keep an eye out for. He then reached out to Campbell through a generic email address for her skating school as he tried to get in contact with her about the idea."It was special because I was obviously in a position where I was looking for that next step and the timing of everything.
