Overview
- Campbell announced his retirement and new role with Novus Global on Monday, July 20, 2026, posting a video and message on social media.
- He finishes a nine‑season NHL career with a 93‑52‑18 record, a .909 save percentage, a 2.76 goals‑against average and highlights that include an 11‑start winning streak and a 2022 All‑Star nod.
- The Edmonton Oilers bought out the final three years of Campbell’s contract in summer 2024 and coverage differs on the payout with one account saying $4.5 million remains owed and another estimating roughly $10 million under the CBA buyout formula.
- Campbell publicly discussed past mental‑health struggles and entered the NHL/NHLPA assistance program in October 2024, saying he found more fulfillment helping others than continuing to chase playing opportunities.
- His move to Novus Global shifts him from on‑ice competition to identity and performance coaching, which could increase attention on athlete mental‑health supports and create a new income and public role beyond hockey.
