Jessica Campbell got the biggest ovation of any Kraken coach on her historic night

Jessica Campbell couldn’t help it.

There she was on the opening night of the Seattle Kraken’s 2024-25 season with a game against the St. Louis Blues, and the coach making history as the first woman as a full time assistant or associate was introduced.

The ovation from the crowd was so loud, and Campbell cracked a bit of a smile. How could you not when that happens? Sure, you want to stay stoic as a coach, but that was just awesome.

What’s more, it was the loudest ovation any coach received, and that might include head coach Dan Bylsma.

What a moment:
