Re: ~~Blood in the Water (Reboot)~~ The Story of the San Jose Sharks...
Breaking News out of the Motor City this morning as Jessica Campbell has been hired by the Detroit Red Wings to be their new Assistant Coach joining Dan Bylsma's Staff.
"It's absolutely groundbreaking. History making." Red Wings Head Coach Dan Bylsma stated. "For us to make history on hiring a Female Coach is absolutely what the NHL needs moving into the future, I think. You look around at what's going on lately and Women are breaking down barriers across the NHL. Jessica and I sat down the other day and just talked Hockey. We got with Steve (Yzerman) and even he was impressed with Jessica."
Jessica was a former Player who played for the Canada National Team and got into Coaching after retirement.
After retiring from the Canadian national team in 2017, Campbell began coaching. She originally coached high school girls' hockey before launching her own coaching business. As owner of JC Powerskating, her clientele included Tyson Jost, Stanley Cup champion Joel Edmundson, and Olympic gold medalist Natalie Spooner.
In 2019, she was an assistant coach for the Nürnberg Ice Tigers and also served as an Assistant Coach for the German national team at the Men's world championship. She was the first woman to be a coach at the men's world championship.
The soon to be 28-year-old Campbell will join Head Coach Dan Bylsma behind the Bench for the Red Wings this season.
"It's amazing honestly." Said Campbell. "To be able to be the first Woman to be a Coach in the NHL, absolutely history and I feel I have set the standards here to carry that torch for more Women to come over and coach."
"She absolutely deserves this." Red Wings General Manager and President Steve Yzerman stated.
