He was a teammate there of current Lock Monster Scott Kelman, who is currently also on a PTO with the club. Campbell stands at 5'9", 170-pounds, and he was on the cusp of striking the 30-goal barrier for the second time, with 29 goals so far on the season. His 46 assists and 75 points lead the Gladiators.

Weiman has backstopped the Gulls in 32 games this year, posting a 14-12-2 record with a 2.81 GAA and a..910 save percentage with one shutout. Weiman was reassigned after Tom Lawson left Sunday's game with an injury and did not return.
The Lock Monsters have also submitted their Clear Day roster this week, for participating in the remainder of the regular season games and 2006 Calder Cup Playoffs, aside from certain conditions involving injury or recall.
