The Seattle Kraken on Wednesday hired Jessica Campbell as an assistant coach, making her the first woman to be named to a full-time coaching position in the NHL.
Campbell spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach for the Kraken's AHL affiliate, the Coachella Valley Firebirds.
She will now re-join newly-hired Kraken head coach Dan Bylsma, whom she worked with during both her seasons with the Firebirds.
Campbell, 32, spent her playing career at Cornell, in the CWHL and representing Team Canada on international ice.
