James Tower Campbell (born April 3, 1973) is a retired American professional ice hockey player. He played 285 games in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Tampa Bay Lightning, Florida Panthers, Chicago Blackhawks, Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis Blues and Mighty Ducks of Anaheim before finishing his career in Europe. Campbell was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, but grew up in Westborough, Massachusetts.
Playing career
He was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens round 2 #28 overall 1991 NHL Entry Draft, but he really broke out with the St. Louis Blues in 1996, scoring 84 points in two seasons. However, a lingering groin problem caught up with him and he started to really slump, bouncing around from team to team, and league to league, he played for the Springfield Falcons in the American Hockey League while contracted to the Tampa Bay Lightning who loaned him to the Philadelphia Phantoms midway through the 05–06 season in exchange for Dan Cavanaugh. While in Philly he posted 12 goals, 17 assists, for 29 points and 46 Penalty minutes in 35 games.
Campbell played 2 games for HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk in the Russian Super League in 2003–04 and spent 2006-07 with EHC Basel in Switzerland's Nationalliga A. Campbell, or "Soup" as he is well known as, officially hung up the skates in 2008, but still remains a force in the St. Louis hockey scene.
In 1993 Campbell won Tampere Cup and became top scorer of this tournament.
Personal life
Jim Campbell lives in St. Louis, where he coaches youth teams such as the Ladue Rams 07-08 JV team, he also has been a shooter at Racine Goalie Academy camps, and he currently coaches the Whitfield Warriors at Whitfield School.[1]
