Well, that's unfortunate. Must've been a nickname from her younger years, before the word became internet slang.Look @ her twitter handle, lol. It's "@boof_campbell"

I thought boofing was when they put alcohol or drugs up their ass to get drunk/high quicker.... yes this is the current state of the worldVerb. boof (third-person singular simple present boofs, present participle boofing, simple past and past participle boofed) (transitive, slang) To have anal sex with someone, usually as the penetrative partner (possibly with negative connotations).
The old boys network is human nature. Things like that change because change happens. GMs hire the same old coaches because they know them. That is the human side. You see this with employers all the time. Two people come in, one may be better on paper, but the other guy is a known quantity that they can trust to do the job.
The reason European coaches aren't brought in often is a lack of relationship. If you coach overseas you aren't building the network of trust that a GM is potentially putting his job on the line for. For the longest time, there wasn't a tremendous amount of women's hockey. When there was, there was usually a male coach because there hadn't been many female players to turn into coaches. Decades later, there have been many more women players who have turned to coaching. Now there are more options coming available. Jessica's hire probably has a lot to do with her relationship with someone in the org in addition to her resume. We have all known people who have the goods on paper but were a terrible fit at our own places of work. No different in the NHL. It is a relationship network. We are now seeing something that has been slowly growing blossom into possibility. I think it is unfair to just label it old-boys network when forward thinking in a results based job can get you fired fast if your forward thinking will take time to develop or the person just made a wrong choice. GMs will hire goats to coach if they think it will get them championships.
I don't care if it's a man, woman, white, black, green, orange. Can they do the job effectively, that's what I care about.
Welp, there goes this chance to get some real skills and skating development in the Org. Keep up the hard work boys.
Compensation?Seems like she’s taking an even bigger leap. Just named assistant coach of the Kraken’s AHL affiliate. Congrats Jessica.

Is she with the Kraken effective immediately or will she honor her commitment to the Rangers and then head to Seattle?
Hire the best person for the job.
Well that is kinda the entire point. There are guaranteed many, many qualified people that dont typically have jobs in the NHL system because teams have historically hired from one group, as they are the ones involved in the sport to begin with. Its certain that qualified people have been overlooked in the application pile for x reason, its just how the world works.
If anything, hiring qualified minorities and women into more prominet roles simply means that the sport is expanding its horizon outside of the old-timey demographic in a extremely male dominant sport.
That's when you head East....But maybe not the toughest Canadian posters.
Yes, I dare say, however, both sides are applicable. You are deliberately chosing to miss my point. If you don't think people are being put into positions to satisfy the woke brigade, who otherwise aren't the most talented person for the job, then I don't know what to tell you. It goes both ways in the wrong direction.
As long as we get the best person for the job, then happy days.
