The Seattle Kraken made history by promoting Jessica Campbell to full-time assistant coach, the first woman to hold that position in NHL history. The team also hired Bob Woods as an assistant coach in a major move. Campbell's background in skating and skill development has been key to her success, as she looks to bring that expertise to the team.

Head coach Dan Bylsma spoke highly of Campbell's abilities and her relationships with the players. The Kraken are looking to improve on their last season's performance with new coaching additions and a fresh perspective.
