On Wednesday, Campbell said, “Though I am honored to be the first, I don’t want to be the only,” and Morey is someone capable of following in her path. Working with Flyers prospects certainly has given her a unique view compared to some her colleagues.
She’s had the chance to spend time with the Philadelphia coaching staff, including some casual conversations with coach John Tortorella. But what makes her the happiest now is being viewed just like the other Flyers development coaches, whether it’s on the ice or in meetings.
“My communication style is going to be different from a lot of the men,” she said. “I might use different words … hearing it from different voices and different ways of teaching, I think they seem to really appreciate it.
“I don’t know why I’m always surprised, but every year I’m surprised because they’ll come to me and they’re asking questions. Or now they’re just yelling across the ice like, ‘Cara, what do I do on this drill?’ So I think for them, it’s becoming quite normal.”
