Since the Kings aren't really clear on what her role entails, it's difficult to formulate questions for her. That said, I would ask if, being a former goalie, she's interested in leaning more towards goalie coaching & development, working alongside Bill Ranford.

 

[tbrown33]

what are the different challenges prospect face nowadays versus when you started playing professionally?

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Yup, sounds like August.

 

[BringTheReign]

What does it mean for her as a trail blazer in her own right to see stories like Chloe Primerano in the WHL?

Also, if it's appropriate, I'd like to share that seeing her hockey card is what got my little sisters interested in playing hockey as kids. They both played for multiple years and loved it!

Thanks as always, Jesse.

Totally appropriate

That's kind of my question, I want to know what the role entails, or if it's so early in the process that it's not even fully defined yet and the path it takes is up to her. How did she wind up interviewing, or did they reach out to her, or was it sort of a collaborative thought.

I do like that the Kings aren't scared to be innovative with 'support' positions like this and Brantt Myhrres

This was my thought too. Like the college sports wars, more support is good.

 

[Statto]

What are the short term goals and the quick fixes of the role and how does that evolve into the blue sky thinking of the strategy. Do the short term goals need to be successful to have the buy in to then take the longer strategy forward.

For you to reword, far better Jesse. Hope you know what I mean.

She's always had a loose relationship with LA, affiliates etc, friends of friends.....same with Maria Denis....not sure if she still works with them or not....but I would assume it was a mix of LA reaching out saying, we wanna do this, you interested....etc.

 

[King'sPawn]

Being a pioneer in women's hockey, what sort of obstacles does she continue to observe or experience, if any? And do these obstacles shape or influence her approach in this new position?

As a head coach of prospects/players in different age groups (from u14 to u19), what has she noticed are the biggest differences and challenges between the ages?

On top of what her specific duties are, is it more of an advisory or collaborative role?

Were there other teams vying for her to do the same duties as LA? If yes, what had her choose the Kings?

 

[Telos]

She is someone I admired a little bit growing up. I had all of her trading cards and to this day one of the only non-Kings hockey memorabilia I have is a signed Tampa Bay puck of hers still on my desk.

Admittedly, I don't have any questions for her that haven't been asked endlessly, but during her career, did she have anyone in the NHL that she looked up to, was a big influence, or perhaps even mentored her?

Also, is there anything that she particularly wishes to impart to young players today?

 

[DoktorJeep]

If the Kings are in Detroit, would she available as the EBUG, if called upon?

 

[Lt Dan]

please ask her How long do you think she'd survive in a zombie apocalypse?

YOU MISSED IT!

ok... that's it... I'm just gonna start a thread with every upcoming potential guest listed and you just submit them all at once

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Which staff member would you eat first

 

[Lt Dan]

YOU MISSED IT!

That would really be much more Lt Dan friendly. I am 117% on board

 

[ru4reals]

Did I miss it. Tell her she's still the best looking hockey player ever. Man or woman.

 

[LAKings88]

Ask her if she knows when the Kings are gonna sign Anderson and Durzi?
