Jessica Campbell Biography

Jessica Campbell made history in 2024 as the first woman to coach behind the bench in a National Hockey League (NHL) game with the Seattle Kraken but her story is about far more than breaking barriers. A high-performance coach who has worked with elite NHL talent, Olympic athletes, and rising stars, Campbell has built her career on leadership, resilience, and earning respect in the most competitive environments in sport. History has been a common theme for Campbell’s career - she first made headlines in 2021 when she was named assistant coach for the Nurnberg Ice Tigers in Sweden and became the first woman to coach at the men’s world championships with the German national team. After earning a role with the American Hockey League’s Coachella Valley Firebirds in 2022, Campbell remained diligent in her work, always having her sights set on the NHL. In 2019, as a Cornell University graduate and Team Canada National Team Player, Campbell founded her company, JC Power Skating, attracting elite NHL players for off-season training. The success of her business enabled Campbell to see that her skillset as a coach and as a leader could earn her a seat at the table.

Campbell stands alone in her identity on the coaching bench — a female in an entirely male world — a role she wholeheartedly embraces not just for the progress of women in the sports world, but for all women and young girls. As a speaker, she brings a rare combination of credibility, authenticity, and edge. She doesn’t just talk about change - she’s lived it. Whether she’s sharing lessons on leadership, building confidence, navigating high-performance cultures, or breaking into spaces where you don’t “fit,” Campbell delivers insights that resonate far beyond hockey. Her story challenges audiences, inspires action, and leaves people thinking bigger about what’s possible.
