Seattle Kraken say assistant coach Jessica Campbell will not return next season

Jessica Campbell, the first woman to serve as an on-bench assistant coach in NHL history, will not return to the Seattle Kraken next season after four years with the organization. General manager Jason Botterill announced that Campbell's contract is expiring and she has expressed a desire to explore other roles around the league. Campbell was promoted from the AHL's Coachella Valley Firebirds in 2024 alongside then-head coach Dan Bylsma and was retained after Bylsma was fired.
