The Seattle Kraken filled out their coaching staff on Wednesday, adding Bob Woods and Jessica Campbell as assistant coaches. Campbell becomes first woman to be named an assistant, associate or head coach in NHL history. TSN’s Cheryl Pounder joins SportsCentre to discuss the importance of this move.

Selling tickets that’s all.

Fuck off, good sign. Keep grinding ! Let’s go Kraken
Best man for the job. What a joke.
The Coachella Valley who? omg wow. Firebirds.
Sorry but this is a gimic. You cant tell me shes the best candidate. Absolute garbage.
Good for her!
Its a bad idea. lets see what happens. use condoms players.
Don’t understand why people are already reaching conclusions. Literal misogyny. Let the season roll by first before you make these generalizations
unrelated but the fastest fish in most rivers is actually the bass
Men will be better players (faster/stronger/bigger) Women will be better coaches (eq/big pic/communication)
Every team needs one of the quota hires in some position.
Is she gonna be in the bed with some players now? lol 2) YES as long as its the BEST person for the position. NOT just "cuz" to prove equality and all that
how very seattle, they also hired a non binary, disabled, aborigine women as assistant gm lol
I'm only joking around, let's go jessica !!
Kraken the Ceiling!!! 😁
Sad to see these comments (though not surprising). Do you clowns actually think a professional sports team would hire someone in such a prominent position simply for “PR” reasons? You don’t think there’s any way she could possible be…. dare I say…. a good coach!?!
Looks like there are a lot of sad little men in the comment section here. This isn't a gimmick. This isn't a diversity hire. Sorry fellas. She got hired because they know she's good. Too bad some guys just can't handle that truth.
What a woke DEI joke. I am Kraken up over this.
5yrs from now she will be suing the league for sexual assault and being under paid. Diversity is our strength lmao.. what a bunch of horse shit
An Ultra Woke hire to go with Seattle's Climate Change Arena.
So she is going to be in a locker room full of half naked, millionaire, alpha males. Ya this is going to end well.
On a side note I wish the Seattle Kraken all the best in the PR storm they are going to have when it comes time to fire her.
