The NHL just hired its first full-time female coach
- 8 years ago
Dawn Braid is the first woman to coach full-time in the NHL after she was named Wednesday as the Arizona Coyotes’ skating coach.
The fact that they respect what I do enough to name me as a full-time coach, or to name me as the first female coach in the NHL, I take a ton of pride in that.
I’ve worked very hard for this opportunity.
Braid worked a part-time gig with the Coyotes last season and had consulted for several other teams previously.
We feel that Dawn can provide a real competitive advantage for our team.
