2010-11: Moved to Windsor of the Ontario League. Struggled early on especially and only played average for most of the season behind a fledgling defense and huge expectations. Very pedestrian numbers during the regular season, but in typical Campbell fashion, stepped up in the playoffs and helped spur the Spitfires into the Conference Finals. He was undone by the eventual OHL champion Owen Sound Attack, but it was a promising run. In his other big-game tourney, he was superb in the U20 World Junior Championships (1.70 GAA, .941 save pct.) earning the U.S. a bronze medal and was named the tournament’s best goaltender.
Talent Analysis
Athletic goaltender with great reflexes. Never gives up on plays and competes hard on every shot. Sometimes he overplays the on-coming rush and can get into trouble. Has a very good glove and blocker. Stickhandles very well and is a fine outlet passer. Shows up majorly in big game situations throughout his career. Loves to compete, has a winning attitude, confidence and is always looking to improve. Consistency of any young goalie can be called into question and Campbell is no exception, maturity should ward off those untimely soft goals.
Future
Should return to Windsor (OHL) before embarking on a professional career. Recently, the Stars have brought their goalies through the ECHL then to the AHL for development purposes.
Potential: Starting NHL goaltender, like a more talented Rick DiPietro.
