On Friday, @kendallcoyne26 became the first woman to compete in a @NHL All-Star Game Skills Competition event when Nathan MacKinnon pulled out due to injury and the @ColoradoAvalanche invited Coyne to take his place in the fastest skater event!
.
It was amazing to see the NHLers standing and cheering Coyne, in awe her speed!
.
We need to continue to give female athletes opportunities like these to display their skills to audiences who haven't been exposed to elite female athletes.
.
We also need networks like @Sportsnet and @tsn_official, @espn, and @nbcsports to broadcast their league games to build on the momentum created by these events.
.
Kudos again to the #NHL for inviting Coyne, along with @RenataFast, @rjohnst6, and @bdecker1814 to take part in the NHL All-Star Game Skills Competition.

"This girl, I mean, I'm often lost for words to describe how proud I am of her. She's the most dedicated, hard working, competitive, lovable teammate who always wants to be the best she can be at her game. The love she has for the game is admirable! She's the only girl on the team and her presence is known. She'll always come out with the puck. I love watching her play!!" - @nikkicyr84

I am very excited and honored to be first Finnish player at Womens NHL league! Can’t wait to fly over to States and get season started!
Last season was tough in many ways. I practised with boys in different city where I played at. Quite times I felt little lonely going to rink alone, dress up alone, leave the rink alone.. Now I am more than happy to have a team to get trough the season! Thank you Connecticut Whales giving me this opportunity to play in the league and the team! #NWHL #connecticutwhales #womenshockey
First for @ninarodgers20 in NWHL and first shutout for the Whale regular season history! ⭐️ .

It makes me so happy and honored to be part of something like this, full audience and meeting all the fans after the game! ❤️ .
