Congrats Kendall, we are all so proud of you. #missionproud
Olympic Gold Medalist and Chicago Mission’s, Kendall Coyne Schofield’s memorable performance as the first woman to compete in the NHL All-Star Skills Competition has prompted NBC to hire her as an analyst for the Wednesday Night Hockey game between Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins (8 p.m., NBCSN).
Coyne, 26, a communications major who worked as a sideline reporter while at Northeastern, will appear on the pregame show and then go Inside the Glass with Pierre McGuire. She will also appear during intermissions that will be called by John Forslund.
