Kraken's Campbell Breaks Ice Ceiling

 People often view Seattle as a "cutting edge" town with trends in many different fields starting here.  The Seattle Kraken help boost that perception, as they have hired the first female coach in NHL history.  

Jessica Campbell is assistant coach for the team under new coach Dan Bylsma.   She was assistant for Bylsma at Seattle's affiliate in Coachella Valley in the American Hockey League. 

Campbell herself is a former Ice Hockey player, playing in women's leagues in Canada and Sweden.

Gonzaga To Join Pac 12

Apparently, Eastern Washington will have two Pac 12 teams. Sources are reporting that Gonzaga, the basketball phenom from Spokane, will accept an invitation to join the now growing conference.  Ir joins WSU as Washington members. 

Gonzaga does not have a football team, I believe it to be the first team in the conference history to not compete in that sport.
