Campbell to Rejoin the Varsity Reds for the 2nd Half of the Season
The UNB Varsity Reds would like to announce the addition of forward Dion Campbell (Melville, Sask.) to their lineup for the second half of the season. Campbell is a 5th year Education student at UNB who spent four years with the Varsity Reds before deciding to concentrate full time on his studies for the 1st half of the 2012-13 season.
Last season, the speedy Campbell had a career best 8G, 9A, 17 points in 28 games played. He was also recognized as their fittest player in pre-season camp along with being the inaugural winner of the Terry Shannon Memorial Award for the team most under-rated player. During his UNB career, Campbell has helped the team win two National Championships along with three Nationals appearances. He joined UNB after a solid career in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League with the Melville Millionaires and Yorkton Terriers.
“Dion will be a valuable addition to our team especially in terms of veteran leadership, a proven winner and a passion for team fitness and success. He will bring a great deal of speed and additional grit to our line-up and has the ability to play all three forward positions,” commented head coach Gardiner MacDougall . Campbell will make his 2012-13 debut during UNB’s two game mini-series versus Team Russian on December 30th at 3pm in Saint John and at the Aitken Centre on December 31st at 4pm.
