Knowing HF, half of this board will be mad as hell.

Congratulations to her.

Congrats to her. By all accounts, she has done a very good job with Seattle's AHL affiliate in Cochella Valley and their players hold her in high regard; this is well deserved.

There are many road blocks in advancing in hockey, but this is one block that's been knocked down. Hopefully, there'll be more.

I was hoping my post would come off as ironically lmao

mark my words, this is a slippery slope towards women getting the right to vote

[Memento]

Pretty cool. She obviously knows the game, and the players under her in the AHL hold her in high regard. Hopefully, it works out.

This coming from a Blues fan.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

good luck to her

don't know her, but I also don't know 99% of other teams coaching staff apart from the head coach

 

[AKL]

Does anyone know what aspects of coaching she oversaw in Coachella Valley and what she'll oversee in Seattle?

I was hoping my post would come off as ironically lmao

It did, don't worry

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

I'm sure the famously accepting hockey community will be totally normal about this

For real, some new blood in the system

How come the hires to the NHL like her and Castonguay and the woman who do TV are all attractive, but the dudes can look like a radiated turnip and it's fine. They don't really know anything,but yet they're on TV just because a family member got them a job with an organization, they sucked, so now they give shitty hockey advice on TV.


Congrats to her. I remember like a month ago on 32 thoughts podcast they talked about her joining the team and it wasn't a PR move it was because Bylsma liked her as a coach and believed she knew her stuff.

It did but I felt the need to preemptively answer anyways for the inevitable followups.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Nice to see fresh voices in the NHL ecosystem

 

[Schennanigans]

Not gonna say nothing since this forum is being pro about this.

 

[Leonardo87]

Some of you really need to think twice before posting what you want to post. Just sayin.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

They ran a hell of a show in Coachella Valley so while it should be celebrated as a huge milestone it's ALSO no surprise, she's well-accomplished and a part of the organizational continuity which is going to be nice to see
