In a surprising turn of events, Dan Bylsma, the new head coach of the Seattle Kraken, made a major announcement at his recent press conference.

He revealed that Jessica Campbell, his assistant coach in the AHL, is under consideration for a coaching role on his staff. The potential move is groundbreaking as Jessica could become the NHL's first full-time female assistant coach.

While Jessica may not be a familiar name to many hockey fans, Dan Bylsma certainly is. With a Stanley Cup win under his belt from his time coaching the Pittsburgh Penguins from 2009, Dan's coaching expertise is well-respected. After successful coaching roles at various levels, including leading the Coachella Valley Firebirds to the Calder Cup finals last year in the AHL, Dan's decision to consider Jessica for the Kraken coaching staff is turning heads.

If Jessica secures this position, it could mark a significant step forward for diversity and inclusion in the NHL. This move has the potential to inspire more opportunities for women in professional hockey, making waves in the sport's history.
