Kendall Coyne will make history Friday night in San Jose, when she becomes the first woman to participate in an NHL All-Star Skills Competition event.
Coyne, a 26-year-old gold medal-winning forward for the U.S. women's national hockey team, accepted the invitation to join the fastest skater event after Colorado Avalanche star Nathan McKinnon pulled out with an injury.
It would be my honor! I'll get to the rink as fast as I can! #NHLAllStar #HockeyIsForEveryone https://t.co/D0FyiQ1uZM— Kendall Coyne Schofield (@KendallCoyne) January 25, 2019
While Coyne will be the only woman to compete in a skills event Friday, other U.S. and Canadian women will serve as event demonstrators. Rebecca Johnston of Team USA will demonstrate in puck control, Brianna Decker of Team USA will do the same in premier passer, and Coyle and Canada's Renata Fast will do it in accuracy shooting.
You can watch the 2019 NHL All-Star Skills Competition online, complete with puck and player tracking, starting at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET, and also return to this tracker for the latest results from SAP Center.
