Good morning today we are watching this ten year old video by a YouTube user named celestial gymnastics of Florence Schelling’s highlights, which remains basically the only thorough compilation of her despite being one of the greatest women’s hockey goaltenders of all time. The weird effects / shakiness stops at around like 30 seconds

Florence Schelling named first female GM of top-level men's pro hockey team

Florence Schelling has been named the general manager of SC Bern of the National League in Switzerland. At just 31, she is the first female GM in top-level men's professional hockey. (...) Previously, Schelling became the first -- and only --- woman to play in the Swiss Men's National B League.

She joins a limited list of women making inroads in men's hockey.

In 2018, the Toronto Maple Leafs hired former Canadian star Hayley Wickenheiser to serve as assistant director of player development. Last year, Seattle's NHL expansion team hired former U.S. captain Cammi Granato as a pro scout.

In Europe, Vicky Mantegazza succeeded her father as president of Switzerland's HC Lugano. Jenny Silfverstrand was named the Swedish Hockey League's CEO last week after holding the same position with the league's Djurgarden Stockholm.

Following her appointment, Schelling admitted, "I was surprised like all of you when I received the call from [chief executive] Marc Luthi.

"We had a couple of discussions about working together and they were very positive - I knew immediately that I wanted to accept the challenge.

"My main goal is to do a good job and bring SC Bern back to the top."

Six of the goaltenders attending the 2017 IIHF Women's Goaltending Development Camp in GRANADA, Spain. Goaltenders, both former, current and future, plus goaltending coaches from 16 countries were invited to the development camp in Spain. 

“(...) That’s one reason why this camp was held for the first time. Not every of the female goalies from 16 countries has the experience of working with a goaltending coach or getting specific training off the ice. Goaltending coaches may be common in top hockey countries but less so in smaller hockey communities and in women’s hockey.”
