Former Jets captain Scott Campbell passes away at 65
Some sad news to report on in the hockey world. Former Winnipeg Jets captain Scott Campbell has passed away at the age of 65 following a battle with cancer.
Campbell began his professional hockey career in the WHA after he was drafted first overall by the Houston Areos in 1977. From there, he moved to Winnipeg for the 1978-79, helping them win the final Avco Cup before the WHA folded.
The Guelph native remained with the Jets as they moved from the WHA to the NHL in 1979 and was named captain for the 1980-81 season. Campbell appeared in 80 games in the NHL, 77 with the Jets and three with the St. Louis Blues, tallying 25 points (four goals, 21 assists) and 243 penalty minutes.
Our thoughts are with the Campbell family at this difficult time.
