Does anybody have any info on this kid? From what I hear he has to potential to be the top goalie in the 2010 draft.
i know everyone has been wondering if its true. yes it is. he is amazing. i watched the u17 ntdp play against the motor city machine. he was stellar to say the least making 11 saves and getting the shutout. the nahl has not seen a prospect such as this since mike murray and grant scott.
Motor city is not a good NAHL team, the NTDP simply out talents them so don't base it on that one game. campbell is a big goalie who keeps improving and moves very well. I think that Andy Iles is the best goalie at this point in the 2010 class, but campbell has far more potential and probably will be drafted higher than iles becuase of that reason.
Windsor is becoming quite the NHL training grounds. Hard to believe they own the rights to so many quality players.
Jack Campbell:
"I am honored the University of Michigan recruited me to play college hockey. My goal is to be playing in the National Hockey League within a year or two, and I did not want to put Michigan's hockey program in a bad position where I left after one season.
"By going to the Ontario Hockey League, I feel it will accelerate my development so I will be able to more quickly achieve my goal of being an NHL goaltender.
"I feel awful about breaking my commitment to U of M. It's something that was not easy to do or that I intended to do. College hockey is a great game that produces a lot of NHL players and I am grateful for the opportunity the University of Michigan gave me."
He's a very talented goalie... U of M has some great recruites for next season... While Windsor will be losing Hall and probably Fowler next season... Wonder why he did that...
Pretty much confirmed he's going to Windsor

This is actually quite true. How many drafted goalies are there that aren't playing pro this year... like 30? You've got 60 teams in the CHL, 58 teams in the NCAA (only about half of them would ever have a drafted goalie), 13 teams in the USHL, and a bunch of places to play in Europe.For goaltenders, the CHL has to be a little more appealing. A school like Michigan attracts top recruits every year. If Campbell had a slow start, he could end up the back up without any way to guarantee minutes without taking a redshirt year.
The fact that they play about twice as many games means that they have that much more time on the ice to develop.
Windsor is going to reload not rebuild...They will try to get Stephen Johns to come over, Austin Czarnik, import Tom Kuhnhackl, and whoever else will listen to them. This doesn't include trades.
Yes losing Hall, Fowler, and Ellis will hurt if all three move to the NHL but the younger guys like Watson, Justin Shugg,Kenny Ryan, Austen Brassard, and Panik will fill the shoes of those who left.
Only it's not the case. Junior Bryan Hogan, Michigan's current starter, went undrafted. Hogan put up super numbers last season as he took the starting job away from Billy Sauer. He was 24-6-0 with a 1.97 GAA and .914 save percentage.Going to a school like Michigan would almost surely mean you're going to compete with another drafted goalie for playing time.
