1. Hell yeah!!!

2. [Bob Woods fills the remaining NHL assistant coach role.](https://x.com/strainsovhorror/status/1808558012321444098?t=sCErkH1WxWWkhjd5egTX3Q&s=19)

3. Always crazy to me how young some of these people are when they hit the NHL coaching ranks.

   She could be head coach by her mid 30s if this works out. That’s crazy.

4. she coached the firebirds forwards and they led the league in goals this year

   would be AWESOME if she can get the kraken even just to the top half in goals this year lol

5. I guess the radio show had an inside source they didn’t name or had a lucky guess! Either way, congrats Jessica!!!

6. You love to see it! Hopefully she can continue helping our young players grow, especially Beniers and Wright.

7. But can she coach? Well, she was the assistance coach of the Firebirds and helped them get to the Calder Cup the last two years.

8. This week has been fun! Now give us the Matty deets!

9. Bickle getting the head job in CV? Awesome to see Campbell climbing the ranks!

10. [Woods and Campbell to co-manage the power play.](https://x.com/EmeraldCityHky/status/1808563528259022882?t=qebqzIMwrXTluiJY5lpqAw&s=19) Woods will focus on defensemen.

11. Seattle making history 🦑🏒❤️

12. Fuck Geoff Baker.

13. #LET’S GO KRAKEN!!!

    Excited to see what she can accomplish here and proud of Seattle for making the opportunity a reality.

14. Oh hell yes

    Finally

    Over a century of the league either not employing or under employing women is being eroded hugely before or our eyes

    Let this help open the flood gates

15. Way to go! Congratulations!

16. Love to see it. For the sake of your sanity, don’t look at the Instagram comment sections, I made that mistake and hoo boy. The amount of sexist/incel shit is off the charts.

17. Sens dude here, just wanted to say well done 🙂

18. Old boys club in shambles, excited to see this. It definitely feels like we went with Dan and Jessica largely due to player development and culture. Which is good as many of our prospects will start transitioning to the NHL soon.

19. Congrats to Campbell. Hopefully we see her elevate the offense the way she did for Coachella

20. Those NHL instagram comments from men are disgusting.

21. Amazing work by the Kraken!

    I’m an Oilers fan, I love progressive franchises.
    Kraken out here hiring amazing woman, and we are reportedly hiring not only another old boy who covered up SA.

    Good grief
