South Carolina Stingrays News Release


The South Carolina Stingrays and Head Coach/Director of Hockey Operations Cail MacLean announced today that the team has agreed to terms with forward Trent Campbell. In keeping with club policy, details of the agreement were not disclosed.

Campbell, 27, led the Stingrays in scoring last season with 20 goals and 48 assists for a career-best 68 points in 60 games. The Beauval, SK native also appeared in six games with the Houston Aeros and Worcester Sharks of the American Hockey League netting a goal and an assist.

"We are very excited to have Trent in a Stingrays jersey again this year," said MacLean. "Offensive creativity, defensive awareness and a hard-nosed playing style all combine to make him an elite forward in the ECHL. In addition, his calm demeanor and consistent effort make him a great on-ice role model for our team's younger players."

Since joining the Stingrays as a rookie in 2007, the 5-foot-10, 175-pound forward registered 155 points (53g, 102a) in 154 games.
