"I want kids to learn at a young age that there are no limits to what they can do," Fry said. "For them to be able to see people like myself, Kendall Coyne Schofield, A. J. Mleczko and Jen Botterill -- all of these other women who are doing amazing things in so many different areas of the sport.
"When they can see that and go, 'Wow, okay, me too. I can do that too.' I think that's going to be life changing for some of these kids, I certainly hope so."
The most exciting part of this new venture for Fry is her soon-to-be colleague, Bob Heethius, who enters his 23rd season on the Coyotes broadcast team and his 16th season as the team's radio play-by-play broadcaster.
"Just knowing that I would be working with "Heeter," that's probably been the best part of all of it," Fry said. "He's just the kindest man. He's so humble, he's so good at what he does and so professional about it."
Heethuis refers to Fry as "partner."
"Heeter has been so welcoming, and so encouraging. He's like, 'You're gonna be great. You know the game better than most people. You've played the game. You've been in the action. So, just talk about what you know and what you love.' I think he's really taking it and putting it into terms that provide a lot of comfort, and also a lot of excitement. It's great to get to go to work and love the person that you're working with.
"I get to go hang out with an awesome human being for three hours and talk about a game we both love. So, I'm super excited about that. Just to develop, to learn and get better alongside him."
Fry, who admittedly loves to talk, is focusing on being succinct. She is also focused on ensuring her other organizational responsibilities continue to get the attention they deserve.
"My other roles aren't going away," Fry said. "My Director of Female Hockey job isn't going away, my President of the Kachinas job isn't going away. So, I'm still working my full-time gig during the day. It's going to be a lot. But I know I can handle it. I'm excited. I think that's just going to be an adjustment."
