Club career

She then joined the Calgary Oval X-Treme and won her second national title in 2000-01.[4] She won her third national title in 2002-03.[5]

She played her last club season in 2004-05 when she won the WWHL Championship, then played one more season with Team Canada in 2005-06.

International career

She was the captain of the Canadian women's ice hockey team during the 2002 Winter Olympics and led the team to a gold medal. The left winger took on the role of captain again in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, and again successfully led her team to a gold medal with a 4 – 1 win over Sweden.

Post-playing career

Campbell retired from competitive hockey on August 30, 2006.[6] She then joined Hockey Night in Canada as a rinkside reporter, becoming (on October 14, 2006) the first woman to do color commentary on a Hockey Night in Canada broadcast.[7] She filled in when Harry Neale was snowed in at his home in Buffalo.[8] She launched her website in the spring of 2008 and is a spokesperson for Scotiabank. She appears at corporate events for Scotiabank and contributed to a blog on the Scotia Hockey Club website.[9]

In honour of Campbell's success, the City of Brampton and Mayor Susan Fennell named a new Recreation Centre, the Cassie Campbell Community Centre, which officially opened in September 2008. The Board of Hockey Canada as well as Canadian hockey icon Wayne Gretzky attended the unveiling.[10]

On November 22, 2009, Campbell ran a leg in the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch relay, through the town of Cavendish, Prince Edward Island.[11]

On November 26, 2013, after Rogers Communications secured a $5.2 billion deal with the National Hockey League for 12 years, Campbell joined Sportsnet's broadcast team, in addition to her Hockey Night in Canada role. Her last broadcast was the New York Rangers at the Toronto Maple Leafs game on December 19, 2023, after she accepted a new position as a special advisor role with the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) and announced on the air that this was the end of her broadcasting career after that game.[12] Though she left Sportsnet, she continues to work for ESPN in a smaller capacity.[13][14]

During the 2010, 2014 Winter Olympics and 2018 Winter Olympics,[15] Campbell provided colour commentary for women's hockey. She was inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 2012.[16]

Before the 2018 Clarkson Cup finals, Campbell resigned from her role as a CWHL Governor.[17] She also reported that she wanted to resign from the league in 2016, but stayed on at the request of the league.
