Kristen Wright
Manager, USA Hockey Girls'
Player Development

Kristen Wright joined USA Hockey as its manager of girls' player development in December 2014. Her resumé includes extensive experience in both the field of law and the field of sport.

A Minnesota native, Wright played hockey at Shattuck-St. Mary’s School before embarking on a decorated career at Connecticut College, during which she was a two-time team captain, a NESCAC Academic All-American, a NESCAC All-Sportsmanship player and an AWCHA National Scholar Athlete selection. She graduated magna cum laude in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and international relations.

After her time in Connecticut, Wright moved west to pursue her law degree at the University of Colorado. During her tenure in Boulder, she also guided the University of Colorado women’s ice hockey team, earning recognition as 2014 Collegiate Sport Clubs Coach of the Year, while founding the ACHA’s Western Women’s Collegiate Hockey Association. At the same time, she obtained certification as a USA Hockey Level 4 referee and was invited to participate in USA Hockey’s Women’s Regional Officiating Camp.

Following her graduation with a juris doctor degree in 2011, Wright served as senior associate counsel at a Colorado law firm. She also had her first taste of international hockey competition as an assistant coach for the 2013 U.S. Women’s National University Team. Additionally, she served as an evaluator at USA Hockey Player Development Camp tryouts for the Rocky Mountain and Pacific districts.

Shortly after joining USA Hockey in 2014, Wright again stepped behind the bench for the U.S. Women’s National University Team, this time as head coach of the American entry in the 2015 Winter World University Games.

Lyndsey Fry

Olympic Experience

• 2014 Olympic Winter Games, silver medalist

Career Highlights:

• 2013 world champion
• Two-time Four Nations Cup participant, 1st (2012), 3rd (2013)
• Two-time U18 world championship medalist, gold (2009), silver (2010)

Fun Facts: Is playing to honor the dream she shared with her best friend, Elizabeth Turgeon, a member of the U.S. hockey program who was tragically killed in a car crash in 2010... Hobbies include singing, playing the guitar, songwriting, cooking and juggling.

On Nov. 15, the Arizona Coyotes hired Lyndsey Fry to be special advisor to team President and CEO Ahron Cohen and to serve as a brand ambassador. Fry, who won silver with Team USA at the Sochi Olympics, is now one of the few women working with or in an NHL front office after playing the game at an elite level.

“I realized that I could offer more than just running the girls’ program, which I still continue as part of this new job,” Fry told The Ice Garden last week. One needs only to look at the growth of youth hockey — both boys’ and girls’ — in Arizona to appreciate what Fry has helped make possible over the last few years.

According to an AP article in August, youth hockey participation in Arizona has grown 109 percent over the past five years. For some, the name Auston Matthews immediately comes to mind as the catalyst for that growth. But the Coyotes believe Fry has also played a vital role, especially for girls’ and women’s hockey.

Kelly Stephens

Kelly Stephens played forward at Shorewood High School in Washington state, and then at the University of Minnesota, where she was co-captain in 2004-05, and helping them win back-to-back NCAA Championships. She played for the US Under-22 Select Team from 2000-04, and played for the US at the 2004 and 2005 World Championships, winning a gold medal in 2005, and the 2004 and 2005 Four Nations Cup. She also played for the Vancouver Griffins of the National Women’s Hockey League. She later married, settling in Seattle, and started her own business, Experience Momentum, a health lifestyle company.
