When you think of International Hockey there isn't too many brothers and sisters who both represented their country, but there's even less that both made the NHL. But you can add the siblings Phil and Amanda Kessel to that list.
That's right, Arizona Coyotes forward Phil Kessel's sister, Amanda Kessel is taking off the jersey and putting on her business suit to join the Pittsburgh Penguins executive management program to put her on track to working full-time in an NHL front office. The Penguins have officially named Amanda Kessel as the first participant in their new Penguins' Executive Management Program.
"I am excited to learn from one of the best franchises in professional sports. The Penguins presented me with the opportunity to use my experience and love for hockey in a whole new capacity and I look forward to making the most of this program."
It's ironic that Amanda joined the team her brother Phil had his best success Winning back 2 back Stanley Cups until being traded for cap issues to the Arizona Coyotes.
