Campbell's story is one that needed to be told

The spotlight on the CWHL goes to players who are on the national teams, on Olympic teams. But that’s not a typical experience. Of the 125 or so players in the league, the majority aren’t part of National programs. They have regular jobs, and play hockey for fun and for pride.

Campbell was faced with a decision that so many women’s hockey players face when they graduate: Do they give the game of hockey up in order to pursue a career or get their life settled? Or do they continue to play hockey while doing all of that?

Great piece on Carlee Campbell by Jared Book. (He's quickly become one of my favourite CWHL writers since I read a piece by him last season)
