Profile
Born on November 22, 1973 in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Cassie began her hockey career at age 6 and took part in all aspects of the game including early morning practices and collecting hockey cards and other memorabilia. An eight-year veteran of the National Women’s team, Cassie Campbell was named Captain of Team Canada’s Gold-medal winning Women’s Hockey Team and led them to victory at the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City. Cassie is spokesperson for CHA’s “Speak Out!” Campaign against harassment and abuse and a spokesperson for HIP Program (Smoking prevention for young girls).
Cassie was assistant captain of Canada’s National Women’s Team from 1997 to 2001. One of Canada’s top defense players for several seasons, Cassie switched to left wing and was Canada’s highest-profile female hockey player as she helped win five World Championships for Canada. In 1998 Canada’s Women’s Hockey team won silver at the Nagano Olympics. Going for gold became the team’s dream and Cassie was captain of that gold-medal-winning victory at the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City. Again in 2006 in Turin, Cassie and co-captain, Hayley Wickenheiser led their team to Olympic Gold. Cassie runs a hockey school and spends summers on Prince Edward Island, where one of her relatives, Lucy Maud Montgomery, was married, and where her father grew up.
