Professional career

In 1993 Campbell moved to Great Britain where he signed with the Guildford Flames in the British Hockey League. He scored 176 points in just 44 league games. He was also influential, along with teammate Paul Thompson, in the purchase of the Flames by Sportfact Ltd. and John Hepburn. Campbell scored more than 100 points in each of the next two seasons. As the Flames moved into the British National League, Campbell's scoring dropped, but he continued to be a considerable presence for the Flames on and off the ice, serving as the Flames Chief of Marketing during his final seasons[2] Towards the end of the 2000-2001 season Campbell announced he would be retiring at the end of the season. He helped the club to a historic three trophies and had his #10 jersey retired before the final game of the season against local rivals Basingstoke Bison.

Personal

Upon his retirement from Guildford, Campbell moved back to Winnipeg with his wife Celia and his two sons Tyler and Jordan.[1]
