Kim Weiss Makes History as PWHL’s First Coach

PWHL Las Vegas just shattered history by naming Kim Weiss as their first-ever head coach — and she’s already rewriting the playbook. Coming off her groundbreaking role as an assistant coach with the Colorado Eagles (one of the few women in AHL history to hold that position), Weiss brings a resume packed with firsts: she was the first woman to coach men’s hockey at Trinity College, leading them to a conference title and the NCAA DIII national championship game. Her journey also includes stints with the Maryland Black Bears and the Washington Pride, plus deep ties to USA Hockey and the U.S. Women’s National Team. General Manager Dominique DiDia, who played alongside Weiss in college, praised her player-development chops and leadership — calling her a perfect fit for Las Vegas’ inaugural season in 2026. As part of the NHL Coaches Association’s Female Coaches Program, Weiss is also helping pave the way for the next generation of women in hockey.
