Bylsma, who previously coached the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Buffalo Sabres, has been the head coach of the Coachella Valley Firebirds for the last two seasons. Campbell, who became the first woman to be behind the bench as a full-time coach in AHL history, has worked under Bylsma with her contributions playing an instrumental role in the team reaching the Calder Cup final last season and advancing to the Western Conference finals this season.
