Cassie Campbell

Captain of the Gold Medal Canadian Women’s Hockey Team

At age five, Cassie Campbell laced up her first pair of skates. Twenty-eight years later, she is a heroine of Canadian sport, as captain and a forward for the Canadian Olympic Hockey Team. Cassie is a twelve-year veteran of the team, which she led to victory at both the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics.

Bold, dynamic, and passionate, Cassie draws on her accomplishments as the captain of the gold-medal winning Canadian Women's Olympic Hockey Team to explore the themes of leadership, teamwork, and motivation.

Campbell led her team to Canada's first Gold medal in hockey in 50 years, at the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City. Her athletic credentials are exceptional; she's been a member of the National Team since 1994 and she helped her team earn gold five times at World Championship tournaments. She was also part of the silver medal-winning team at the Nagano Olympics in 1998. Campbell has been included on All-Star teams in the National Women's Hockey League and the Ontario Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association, and has shown uncompromising grit and versatility while playing forward and defense at different times in her career.

She holds an Honours Sociology Degree from the University of Guelph. In 2007, Campbell was inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame, and was the first female hockey player to be inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame. She is currently working for TSN and CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada and is writing two books: HEART and Some Things I Have Learned. Her focus on determination and teamwork shines as she speaks of her gold medal performances and those of her team who "didn't stop believing in one another."

A lively, passionate, and engaging speaker, Cassie Campbell knows firsthand about the key roles that teamwork, determination, and great leadership play in challenging times.
