Grizz Ink AHL Vet Ed Campbell

September 6, 2006 - ECHL (ECHL) Utah Grizzlies

The 1993 draft pick of the New York Rangers, joins the Grizzlies for the first time after making several trips to the E-Center as an opponent of Utah from 1997-2005.

*Ed is another person that Grizzlies fans will remember as having played against us for years here at the E-Center,* said Christie. *He has always been a very difficult customer for his opposition; obviously a player you like to have on your team.*

Campbell has logged AHL time with Binghamton, Hartford, Worcester, Grand Rapids, Providence, Hershey, Milwaukee, Bridgeport and Cleveland. In the former International Hockey League, the 31-year-old played for Orlando and Fort Wayne.

In addition to nearly 700 professional games, the Massachusetts native has also appeared in 61 career playoff games.
