Campbell, 32, will become the first woman to work behind the bench of an NHL franchise following her appointment to the Kraken's coaching staff this week.  Campbell has spent the past two seasons working as an assistant coach for Seattle´s AHL affiliate in Coachella Valley alongside head coach Dan Bylsma, who was hired in late May to take over the head job with the Kraken.  Bylsma's hiring raised immediate questions about whether Campbell would be following him to Seattle. Before it was confirmed that she would indeed break through another barrier for women in hockey. It marks the second time Campbell has made history within the world of hockey.
