Cassie Dawin Campbell-Pascall[1] CM (born November 22, 1973) is a former Canadian ice hockey player and a broadcaster for ESPN/ABC, and formerly Sportsnet. Born in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Campbell grew up in Brampton, Ontario, playing for the Brampton Canadettes.[2] 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.

Cassie was also captain of the Calgary Oval X-Treme, a team in the Western Women's Hockey League. Campbell has also played for the Toronto Aeros and the Mississauga Chiefs.

Campbell has done modeling, and hosted women's hockey segments on TSN's hockey broadcasts. She attended high school at North Park Secondary School Brampton, and is an alumna of the University of Guelph, in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

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.[3]

Post-playing career

[edit]

Campbell retired from competitive hockey on August 30, 2006.[4] 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.[5] She filled in when Harry Neale was snowed in at his home in Buffalo.[6] 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.[7]

On November 22, 2009, Campbell ran a leg in the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch relay, through the town of Cavendish, Prince Edward Island.[8]

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 19 December 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[9] Though she left Sportsnet, she continues to work for ESPN in a smaller capacity.[10][11]

During the 2010, 2014 Winter Olympics and 2018 Winter Olympics,[12] Campbell provided colour commentary for women's hockey. She was inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 2012.[13]

Before the 2018 Clarkson Cup finals, Campbell resigned from her role as a CWHL Governor.[14] She also reported that she wanted to resign from the league in 2016, but stayed on at the request of the league. During the two years, her biggest involvement had been helping to secure sponsorships for the league.

Campbell won Best Sports Analysis or Commentary at the 9th Canadian Screen Awards in 2021.[15]

Campbell later joined the NHL on ESPN, who would broadcast games for the first time in 17 years, as part of their new broadcast team for the 2021–22 season.[16]

On June 16, 2011, Campbell received an honorary degree from the University of Guelph.[23]

On June 25, 2012, Campbell received the Order of Hockey in Canada.[24] She was presented with the Canadian Women's Hockey League Humanitarian of the Year Award in March 2014. The award was presented to Campbell by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.[25] On June 30, 2016, Campbell was made a Member of the Order of Canada (CM) by Governor General David Johnston for "contributions to Canadian women's hockey as a player, broadcaster and role model."[26]

The Cassie Campbell Community Centre in Brampton, Ontario is named in her honour.
