In Finland, NHL players are coached by a woman from the top of figure skating during the summer holidays. She corrects the shortcomings of players' skating, and leads skating in a less burdensome direction. And she is accurate. And the wish for coaching came from others than herself.
And that makes perfect sense. But unless she has some incredible insight to the game, It's just a publicity stunt. Actually would have expected it from like the Kings or Leafs first, but the Kracken isn't far behind given their location.
Well, I bet she knows more about hockey than I do, and I’ve been following it since 1971. Hopefully, she succeeds and gets to lift the Cup someday. THAT would be AWESOME!
Im an adult female and don't buy into the hype. Notice her media is all about her being a Female not any of her accomplishments. Stay out of woke and stay in hockey. Worry about the game.
Jessica is a class act. I had never met her before Coachella Valley had a practice at Hersheypark Arena on a Monday before the Calder Cup finals in June 2024. There was an event that weekend and the ice had been partially covered by a floor. Coachella had practice scheduled for 11 AM and when the team and coaches arrived at 9:30 AM me and my coworker were working on getting the ice ready by 11 AM. Long story short, Jessica offered to help us get the ice ready but I assured her and Head Coach Dan Bylesma that the ice would be ready by 11 AM. The ice was ready by 10:30 AM. I was surprised by her willingness to help and wish her the very best in her coaching career.
Race and gender don't matter. If you know the game and can coach, that's all that matters. And it seems the Kraken organization knows what she can bring. She's established and I'm happy an established fresh view is coming to the organization. Lets go!
She got hired because she's a chick, period. You're telling me there aren't other male coaches out there with equal or way better resumes?? Gimme a break, as Cartman would say, "put a chick in it and make it lame and gay!!!"
I gotta be honest, you are the BEST hockey channel out here - always level-headed analyses with witty commentary and just enough humor to carry intellect and interest. Top tier videos, please keep them coming!
I don't care who coaches, and really no one should. What matters in the end is wins and losses. If she wins, great. If she loses, her job's on the line like anyone else's. Good luck to her and Seattle from a Leafs fan
Haven't really followed news in the off-season so was a massive but very positive surprise to see this on news. Good for her. Race and/or gender shouldn't matter
It's so good to watch one of your videos again. I've always loved you but this means that hockey season has begun! I am loving it. I look forward to another fun year of getting your insight into the games.
Gender shouldn't matter. Knowledge is key, especially her having played that sport. Rules are different, but strategy and positioning are same for all sports. I hope to see more women break the barrier and men be willing to be coached by them.
the comments here are so odd because it’s not like she doesn’t have the qualifications, no one would be saying anything like this is a man was hired to be an assistant coach for a women’s team
ikr, the NHL has the same 60-70 coaches / GMs rotating at all times. ultimate nepotism/boy's club sport. when have qualifications mattered in a sport this insular?
Male or female coaches does not matter. I am sure all the coaches hired earned their positions. I do hope she does well. Side note, Kraken is a cool team name (looking at you, Utah). Cheers all!
It does matter to a certain extent. Promoting a female coach in the number one hockey league just for the sake of it is wrong (damn stupid politics). If she does the job and no utterly stupid things happen, i'm ok, all for it.
The amount of sexism in this comment section surprises me. She obviously has the qualification. I'm interested to see how she does. It's not gonna be easy but she seems like a tough one. Good luck!
First time back to the channel this season and happy to see this was your first video since last. You coulda been greedy posting bs all summer but good on ya for keeping it purely about the sport we love
Best of luck to Jessica Campbell, She's there on merit & the NHL will spit her out if she's not right for the job. Give her a fair crack of the whip & then we'll see, don't just criticise cos of her sex, it's the ability to do the job that matters!!
I dunno im kinda split down the middle. Because she played womens hockey doesn't mean she can play mens hockey. Its alot more physical and you cant play the same style. Its the same way id say a man wouldn't be as good of a coach for womens gymnastics because they can't do the routines the women have to do. But good for her. Im definitely not against women being coaches. But i do think the biggest problem might be the distractions. Also changes the locker room. Are guys gonna be comfortable with her in there?
This is some bs. If they're professionals it don't matter what or who she is. If she does her job so will they. And the gymnastics thing is even more bs because there are men coaches working with girls....
@@dillonforsberg I'm not saying she's not qualified to coach hockey but your comment is silly. To coach a sport, you have to have played the sport. Every coach in the NHL has played hockey. You have to have experience to be able to coach. Just because you watch hockey, doesn't mean you can coach hockey. Educate yourself. Now as for her being a coach in the NHL, time will tell. She knows hockey, she's played hockey at the highest level for women. Now it's up to the men to listen to her.
@@realist7934 Ken Hitchcock barely played more hockey than most Canadian kids did for just being Canadian. My point is, one doesn’t have to play at a professional level and in this case, with the same gender of players, to be successful at coaching.
They recently had to fire the male head coach of the N,Y. Jets. He didn’t take it well,They had to call security to escort his ASS out. If they have to fire her,I’m sure she’ll be professional about it. Btw,stupid comment.
No way Dan Bylsma made that decision on his own dude. Their building is called "Climate Pledge Arena" ffs. Larry Fink is jerking off to the Kraken's current ESG score. Having said all that. I wish Campbell success.
As a Canadian, Montour looks DAMN good in that blue!!! Sad it ain't up in the north, but have fun with him Seattle!!! If he wins another cup, let him keep it longer!!! XD
She's a champion on an international scale. Most NHL players have never qualified to even play on her level. The angry kids and boomers in chat are laughable clowns. Remember hire based on merit, well, here we are. Stay mad.
First women in NHL as a assistant coach being there because of her being good at her job. Great to see! Would have been devastating for the future of woman representation if she would have been a DEI hire.
Tick tock on when she files an SA complaint. Real or imaginary. Most likely imaginary when they try to fire her, like they fire all coaches at some point soon.
@@sheeper_beeper She isn't more qualified though. There's hundreds of men and perhaps a dozen women more qualified than her. It's a stunt. It was a stunt in her last position too.
Not a lot of money in Women's hockey. She's probably doing better for herself running her private coaching business and doing this. She also really wasn't an "elite" player from what I remember. Still better than anyone at your local beer league, but mostly average or slightly bellow in a group of other professionals. So it was probably better to turn to coaching as a long term thing.
@@adamleblanc5294 Hockey success is more than the product or results you see on the ice. Just look at the analytics space that's blown up in recent years. Who knew some computer programmer would be important in assembling or analyzing a team when they probably never set foot on the ice much less laced up for an NHL game. Put another way, you don't need astronauts to work for NASA but smart people who know maths so the spaceships don't blow up or crash onto the planets.
Not really. I can't watch a broadcast of anything having to do with the Kraken without having this front and center as though it's a positive thing. I live in Seattle, so it's the dominant story at all times 🤷🏿♀️
If the Kraken play good this season and make the playoffs, great hire. Ground breaking. Magical. If they suck, this lady will be the scapegoat. She has fortitude taking that position. Some players will like her, some wont.

You're familiar with the qualifications of the other candidates? Who was the runner up for this position, and why didn't he get the position? I'm curious since you're so intimately aware of the details of the hiring process in this particular case. Thanks in advance 👍🏿
There was a study that showed that women playing online games received the most abuse from people who weren't very good at the game and higher level players tended to be a lot more respectful. That's what I think of when I see people yapping about DEI in comments sections, chances are it's because they're talentless losers who're lashing out in envy.

I consider myself somewhat progressive, and yet I find myself feeling a bit awkward about having a woman in the bench and locker room. It's just a little bit of a weird dynamic to be honest. It has nothing to do with whether or not she is qualified because obviously she is, but biology is biology. I can't bullshit myself. I guess time will tell.
I feel you man! NHL will not be same again. Hockey it's a 100% man's sport. Brutal, bloody, exciting etc, no room for feminine vibe!! R.I.P. old school hockey!😭😭
Glad to she a lady like her get a chance in the NHL, with her credentials she deserves a shot at the assistant coach job. But what's even better is my Blues picking up the W
Hey I don't care who you are if you get hockey and know hockey and you played as good as she has... hey you can teach anyone and teach them all new tricks too, hockey doesn't care who or what you are as long as you love and respect the game
90k views. 1.6k upvotes..very telling. Also, guaranteed his job is on the line either way. Kraken are a successful, Stanley Cup winning organization? ...🤨
You know at the end of the day, does she know her stuff and do the players respect her. Male or female, if they know the game and know what they’re talking about/ coaching that’s all that matters.
@@sommebuddy Wayne Gretzky, the greatest player to ever lace up a pair of skates, was a lousy NHL coach, so playing in the NHL doesn't necessarily mean you're qualified to coach, just like not having played in the NHL doesn't necessarily mean you're not qualified.
So your name freedom is purely sarcasm then? When a man gets fired from a position it's because he's incompetent and bad at his job. When a woman gets fired, it's because she has breasts?
You talking about nearly all of the comments who for the sake of virtue signalling agree with her hiring due to genitalia? Or the sycophants who ignore the topic and k*ss *ss to the creator?
Suddenly everyone here is an expert on psychology and shit. I say just let her do her thing and if she's good, she's good. You can't say you "don't care about gender, etc" and then cry about it. Just wait for the results
Yup. I don't know a single man who has a problem with women having their own spaces specifically for them. But suddenly if a man wants the same thing for himself it means he hates women 😂

@@realCarlosMazda Except statistically speaking, things that have gone "woke" according to people like you, have actually performed better. You guys just like to point out the exceptions, rather than the actual trends. A woman having a job isn't "woke," snowflake. You're only recognizing the patterns that give you confirmation bias.
@@mizolafoufounna you're right, women have been teaching NHL players how to skate better for years, since 1987. Or did you mean that 1986 was the last good year of the NHL? please go touch grass dude.
Her qualifications aren't what I would be worried about. People completely ignoring the dynamic between men and women like it doesn't exist is absolutely wild. Whether its sexual, leadership, submissive vs dominant, it all exists, its natural and biologically ingrained in us as humans. And it is ten fold with a bunch of young hypercompetative men in their prime. Ignoring it is asinine, if I were an owner of any sports organization I would never let a female coach my team and qualifications or ability would have nothing to do with it.
Time to grow up, then. A woman can absolutely still be respected in a role like this, regardless of what is "biologically ingrained." If the players can't treat her as such, then again, they need to grow up. She's a human being, and one who is qualified for the job. Treat her like it.
@STARPHASE "growing up" has nothing to do with it. I'm not even questioning her qualifications or ability, she was a great player, and has been coaching for a while now, she has a great resume and I'm sure she is fantastic. If I were an owner I might consider her for an assistant position or something. She's more than qualified, and yes, grown men should be able to deal with biological urges. But to pretend they don't exist or are not a distraction, particularly among hyper competative 20 something year olds, is absolutely asinine. You are only fooling yourself if you think it has no bearing on the team. And in a multi million dollar industry where the main goal is to win, any distraction, is a liabilty. I'm not saying shes not qualified, I'm not saying she doesn't deserve the job, I'm saying it is 100 percent a liability and there are many other coaches that have the same qualifications as her. I'm not even saying that is fair, to her in particular, but it is what it is, and it is fact. There are some roles in society that women absolutely should not fill, and some roles such as this that they may be qualified/able to fill, but probably shouldn't. Same goes for men. Ignoring these basic biological facts is just plain ignorant.
Sure, but even if that was something you could measure, that goes for all but one human in the entire world. The fact that you bring it up with the first female coach is saying more about you than her. With the exception of Graham Michael James the d*ck is not used in the coaching role. Let her be judge by her merits and performance, just like any other coach.
I work as a public servant and most of my bosses and teammates are ladies and i certainly agree and respect that so stop saying nonsense about her looks it has nothing to do with her knowledge!

🤡🤡
I consider myself somewhat progressive, and yet I find myself feeling a bit awkward about having a woman in the bench and locker room.
It's just a little bit of a weird dynamic to be honest. It has nothing to do with whether or not she is qualified because obviously she is, but biology is biology. I can't bullshit myself.
I guess time will tell.
just bc she has vajayjay she cant coach the big leagues? shes not even playing
I feel you man! NHL will not be same again. Hockey it's a 100% man's sport. Brutal, bloody, exciting etc, no room for feminine vibe!! R.I.P. old school hockey!😭😭
Locker room....
It's cause she's hot.
Men coach women's hockey all the time. They are not in the dressing room while players are getting changed. Fixed your porn addled brain 😂
no
Glad to she a lady like her get a chance in the NHL, with her credentials she deserves a shot at the assistant coach job.
But what's even better is my Blues picking up the W
YOUR BACK OMG OMG OMG
Hey I don't care who you are if you get hockey and know hockey and you played as good as she has... hey you can teach anyone and teach them all new tricks too, hockey doesn't care who or what you are as long as you love and respect the game
90k views. 1.6k upvotes..very telling.
Also, guaranteed his job is on the line either way. Kraken are a successful, Stanley Cup winning organization? ...🤨
The irony of this channel's name and this story.
We fuck with this!
Reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger Kindergarten Cop comedy. A other showcase of our era's wisdom.
You know at the end of the day, does she know her stuff and do the players respect her. Male or female, if they know the game and know what they’re talking about/ coaching that’s all that matters.
He’s back!!! 🎉
I wonder who's turn it will be , to skate extra laps for the coach. After class 😉 . Who's going to be the Teacher's Pet ? 1984
Dei hire
If she just wasn’t a bloody Campbell.
If there was no such thing as DEI or affirmative action we wouldn’t be wondering if she is deserving or not, but there is, and we are.
Precisely. If there wasn’t DEI people would be much more excited and on board. Instead we are cynical and suspicious.
Really good point
Thomas Sowell makes this same argument about affirmative action. (He's black btw)
@MrGgabber He's also a giant hack who benefited from affirmative action.
@soulknife20 You must be thinking of someone else. He graduated Harvard in the 50s, decades before affirmative action
SOUPPPYYY!!!
Just like all the female commentators are experts. None of them played at the nhl level.
You mean like Ron McLean?
Lots of NHL coaches have never played at the NHL level.
@@klauswigsmith ah . That many too! 😳
@@sommebuddy Wayne Gretzky, the greatest player to ever lace up a pair of skates, was a lousy NHL coach, so playing in the NHL doesn't necessarily mean you're qualified to coach, just like not having played in the NHL doesn't necessarily mean you're not qualified.
What a disaster this is going to be. The NHL is destroying itself. All the simps cheering this on make me sick.
@@sommebuddy exactly! 😅😅👍
Your username is literally freedom lmao. Guess you only like freedom if it's the type you agree with. Snowflake.
fr fr
So your name freedom is purely sarcasm then? When a man gets fired from a position it's because he's incompetent and bad at his job. When a woman gets fired, it's because she has breasts?
If she’s got the credentials then fine. But Seattle are going to be in for a world of hurt when the day inevitably comes where they have to fire her.
I hate these comments so much. Just be happy for someone
Relax.
Maybe stop spreading hate. 🤣
You talking about nearly all of the comments who for the sake of virtue signalling agree with her hiring due to genitalia? Or the sycophants who ignore the topic and k*ss *ss to the creator?
Sorry is this not a safe enough space for you guys? I'll try to consider your feelings in the future
I feel bad for the guy who should have been hired but was the wrong gender for Seattle to show off how progressive they are. 🤷🏿♀️
Go girl!!
Dei in hockey now
Woke is when woman
Anyone who isn't a white male is DEI?
Is the “DEI” in the room with us now?
This is awesome
I'm guessing you're a Canucks fan.
@@youtubecensors5419no go kings
Suddenly everyone here is an expert on psychology and shit. I say just let her do her thing and if she's good, she's good. You can't say you "don't care about gender, etc" and then cry about it. Just wait for the results
Well ...she just...too beautiful for NHL.
Why can't men have our own spaces?
Being saying this for years!! NHL is becoming a woke circus!🤮🤮
Are you scared of cooties?
Yup. I don't know a single man who has a problem with women having their own spaces specifically for them. But suddenly if a man wants the same thing for himself it means he hates women 😂
and meanwhile there's a women's hockey team deprived of a good coach...
Like all men team sports. Socialists take over.
Everything woke turns to shit... This WILL NOT age well.
“Everything I don’t like is woke”
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial It's not a matter of what I like or dislike. It's a matter of what works & doesn't work. Identify politics & meritocracy cannot co-exist.
@@realCarlosMazda you’re the one turning it into identity politics
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Nope. I'm merely recognizing patterns & stating the obvious: This will not age well.
@@realCarlosMazda Except statistically speaking, things that have gone "woke" according to people like you, have actually performed better. You guys just like to point out the exceptions, rather than the actual trends. A woman having a job isn't "woke," snowflake. You're only recognizing the patterns that give you confirmation bias.
Can't put into words how much I hate the "Kraken" name.
R.I.P. Old school hockey! 🙄
If “old school” hockey is so fragile it can be destroyed with ONE woman assistant coach existing then it must be pretty weak and pathetic.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial It's been happening for years!
@@mizolafoufounna you're right, women have been teaching NHL players how to skate better for years, since 1987. Or did you mean that 1986 was the last good year of the NHL? please go touch grass dude.
Her qualifications aren't what I would be worried about.
People completely ignoring the dynamic between men and women like it doesn't exist is absolutely wild.
Whether its sexual, leadership, submissive vs dominant, it all exists, its natural and biologically ingrained in us as humans. And it is ten fold with a bunch of young hypercompetative men in their prime.
Ignoring it is asinine, if I were an owner of any sports organization I would never let a female coach my team and qualifications or ability would have nothing to do with it.
Time to grow up, then. A woman can absolutely still be respected in a role like this, regardless of what is "biologically ingrained." If the players can't treat her as such, then again, they need to grow up. She's a human being, and one who is qualified for the job. Treat her like it.
@STARPHASE "growing up" has nothing to do with it.
I'm not even questioning her qualifications or ability, she was a great player, and has been coaching for a while now, she has a great resume and I'm sure she is fantastic.
If I were an owner I might consider her for an assistant position or something.
She's more than qualified, and yes, grown men should be able to deal with biological urges.
But to pretend they don't exist or are not a distraction, particularly among hyper competative 20 something year olds, is absolutely asinine. You are only fooling yourself if you think it has no bearing on the team.
And in a multi million dollar industry where the main goal is to win, any distraction, is a liabilty.
I'm not saying shes not qualified, I'm not saying she doesn't deserve the job, I'm saying it is 100 percent a liability and there are many other coaches that have the same qualifications as her.
I'm not even saying that is fair, to her in particular, but it is what it is, and it is fact.
There are some roles in society that women absolutely should not fill, and some roles such as this that they may be qualified/able to fill, but probably shouldn't. Same goes for men.
Ignoring these basic biological facts is just plain ignorant.
always such a fuss when women do anything :D always 2 records, first person to do something and first woman to do something.
Well yeah, because for centuries women weren't allowed to do things.
Oh baby I hope you didn't have the over ... lmfao
THE ODDS, THAT THERE ISN’T NO ONE ELSE WHO IS BETTER QUALIFIED IS PRETTY SLIM ..!
what are the odds that 50 percent of the population will never be qualified to coach based on the body they were born into? Your odds are wrong.
Define “better qualified.” There is no algorithm to determine that. This is a great hire and the fact that she’s a woman is even better.
Sure, but even if that was something you could measure, that goes for all but one human in the entire world. The fact that you bring it up with the first female coach is saying more about you than her. With the exception of Graham Michael James the d*ck is not used in the coaching role. Let her be judge by her merits and performance, just like any other coach.
@@hotgrease he means he has a boy part. he thinks from it and she doesnt' have one. real grade 4 mindset on hockey chat.
@@hotgrease How is the fact that she’s a woman “even better” ? Is there something inherent in women that makes them better hockey coaches ?
I work as a public servant and most of my bosses and teammates are ladies and i certainly agree and respect that so stop saying nonsense about her looks it has nothing to do with her knowledge!
Can’t wait for the Hallmark movie.
