Campbell is an assistant coach for the Coachella Valley Firebirds, the Kraken's AHL affiliate. She had a career in hockey as a player but transitioned to coach early on.
It should be noted that there have been female trainers in the NHL before but none have coached behind the bench yet. This is just further proof that we are getting closer and closer to full integration in the NHL which can do nothing but good for the sport.
