Gwinnett's Campbell Wins ECHL Sportsmanship Award
Saturday, Apr. 5th, 2008
PRINCETON, N.J. – The ECHL on Saturday announced that Gwinnett Gladiators forward Jeff Campbell is the recipient of the Sportsmanship Award for 2007-08 as determined in a vote of ECHL coaches.
The award is presented annually to the player who is judged to have exhibited the best sportsmanship combined with a high standard of playing ability.
David Desharnais of Cincinnati finished second while Ash Goldie of Victoria and Oren Eizenman of Fresno tied for third and Tim Konsorada of Bakersfield was fifth.
Campbell, who was named First Team All-ECHL on Friday, has 38 penalty minutes while ranking second in the ECHL with 65 assists and 90 points in 64 games. He is also second in power-play assists with 34 and power-play points with 42. He was named ECHL Most Valuable Player and First Team All-ECHL in 2005-06 and was named to the ECHL All-Rookie Team in 2004-05. Campbell had a 13-game assist streak (20 assists) from Nov. 30-Dec. 28, 2007 which at the time was the longest streak since Dany Bousquet of Pee Dee had an assist in 12 games in a row from Mar. 3-29, 2002. He has also played in the AHL where he has three points (2g-1a) and two penalty minutes in eight games with Norfolk.
The ECHL will announce the winner of the Rookie of the Year award on Sunday.
