TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
CASSIE CAMPBELL

It is inevitable that one day Cassie Campbell will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Not the Women’s Hockey Hall of Fame, not the IIHF Hall of Fame, but the straight-up, plain-old, formerly men’s-only Hockey Hall of Fame.


Campbell has three Olympic ice hockey medals to her name: silver at the 1998 games in Nagano and gold at both Salt Lake (2002) and Turin (2006). At the 2006 Games, after a long career of representing her country, she served as the captain of Team Canada and led her squad to the pinnacle of the sport.

Recently retired, Campbell has gone on to be something of a barrier-breaker in hockey broadcasting.

While she is not the first woman to ever cover hockey, she is the first to do colour commentary for CBC Hockey Night in Canada, and also quite possibly the first female broadcaster to be able to walk amongst the players with the same degree of credibility as former NHL’ers-turned-broadcasters like Kelly Hrudey, Ray Ferraro, John Garrett or Greg Millen.
