In July 2024, Jessica Campbell made history when she was named assistant coach for the Seattle Kraken, solidifying her place as a pioneer in a male-dominated field. Later that year, she became the first woman to coach behind the bench in an NHL game. Her trailblazing journey has included a series of groundbreaking accomplishments, such as serving as assistant coach for the Nurnberg Ice Tigers in Sweden and becoming the first woman to coach at the men’s World Championships with the German National Team in 2021. Her persistence and determination led her to the AHL’s Coachella Valley Firebirds in 2022 before achieving her ultimate goal of breaking into the NHL. Beyond coaching, Jessica’s entrepreneurial spirit shines through her company, JC Powerskating, which she founded in 2019. A Cornell University graduate and former Team Canada National Team player, she attracted elite athletes for off-season training, further solidifying her standing as a leader in the hockey world. Jessica's success has proven that her expertise as a coach, leader, and innovator has truly earned her a seat at the table.
