Collegiate Career
During his senior year, Campbell transferred to Northeastern University, where he made a significant impact. In 36 games, he recorded 42 points, including 20 assists and a career-high 22 goals. He was one of only two Northeastern players to surpass the 40-point mark, trailing just one point behind his captain and linemate, Justin Hryckowian.
The Quebec native demonstrated his prowess with six power-play goals, two game-winning goals, and two hat tricks—one in a victory over Brown and another in a tie against No. 11/10 Providence. His two three-goal games ranked second among all NCAA skaters. At the end of the Hockey East regular season, Campbell’s 13 league goals were tied for fifth, and his 24 points placed him 11th among all Hockey East skaters.
In his 36 games with the Huskies, the 5’11” forward recorded at least one point in 27 games and had 11 multi-point games. Campbell also played a crucial role in helping Northeastern secure their fifth Beanpot title in six tournaments, contributing one goal and one assist in two games.
