Brian Wesley Campbell (born May 23, 1979) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman for the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has previously played for the Buffalo Sabres, San Jose Sharks and Florida Panthers. He won the Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks in 2010, assisting on the deciding goal.
Campbell grew up in Strathroy, Ontario, where he attended elementary school at Colborne Street Public School and high school at Strathroy District Collegiate Institute. He also attended Canterbury High School in Ottawa while playing for the Ottawa 67's of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). His parents are Ed and Lorna. He has two brothers, Craig and Darryl. Darryl also played pro hockey for four seasons in the ECHL, lastly for the Mississippi Sea Wolves.
Campbell received national attention in Canada in 2003 in the context of the SARS outbreak — Campbell's sister-in-law, Vagia, who works at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital, visited him on March 24, 2003. Shortly after, she started showing SARS symptoms and was subsequently hospitalized. This led to the quarantine of both Campbell and then-teammate Rhett Warrener. Campbell missed three games before being cleared to play again. Neither player had any SARS symptoms.
