First female to coach NHL game tonight
There have been a lot of firsts in NHL history, but tonight will mark another. The Seattle Kraken have invited Coachella Valley Firebirds assistant coach, Jessica Campbell to be a member of their coaching staff tonight. The Kraken are set to face the Calgary Flames in preseason action.
#SeaKraken will welcome @Firebirds assistant coach, Jessica Campbell behind the bench tonight at @ClimateArena for the matchup against Calgary.
