At the end of the season he received numerous awards, including the Red Tilson Trophy for the most valuable player in the OHL, the Max Kaminsky Trophy for the best defender of the year at the OHL and the William Hanley Trophy for the fairest player in the OHL. Despite missing out on winning the OHL championship, the 67's took part in the same year as the host of the Memorial Cup , which they surprisingly won. In addition to receiving the George Parsons Trophy for the fairest player in the Memorial Cup, Campbell was also named Player of the Year in the Canadian Hockey League as part of the tournament .

After Campbell had already been selected in the sixth round in the sixth round in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft by the Buffalo Sabers , they signed him to the Memorial Cup and sat him for two playoff games in the American Hockey League with their farm team , the Rochester Americans . The Canadian found himself in their squad for much of the 1999/00 season , but made his debut in the NHL for the Sabers. In total, he came to twelve missions for Buffalo this season. Nevertheless, he stayed the following two seasons between Rochester and Buffalo before he got a permanent place in the defense of the Sabers from the 2002/03 season . Although he gained in his rookie season 19 points in 65 games but gained rather by attention that he and his team-mate Rhett Warrener on suspicion of the respiratory disease SARS under quarantine were asked and three NHL games missed so each. However, the suspicion was not confirmed.

After another season with the Sabers in which he could not improve on the previous year, he moved during the lockout - 2004/05 in the Finnish SM-liiga to Jokerit Helsinki, where he improved his offensive game again significantly and 25 points booked in 44 games. At the end of the season he won the runner-up with Jokerit.

For the 2005/06 season Campbell returned to the Buffalo Sabers and subsequently made personal bests in all offensive categories. He finished the season as the best-points Sabers defender. In addition, he advanced with the team to the final of the Eastern Conference . In the following game year, the seamless continued from the previous season, which earned him the first-time nomination for the NHL All-Star Game . With 48 points in 82 games, he again improved his values ​​from the previous year. In the 2007/08 season , Campbell continued to play at a high level, making him again in the NHL All-Star Game . Since he was in the last year of his contract and could not agree with the Sabers on a new contract, he was on 26 February 2008, a draft law of the seventh round for Steve Bernier and a first-round draft law to the San Jose Sharks transferred. In San Jose, at the side of his childhood friend Joe Thornton , Campbell quickly gained a foothold and was able to significantly increase his points yield with 19 points from the remaining 20 games of the season. His achievements were ultimately rewarded with his first election to the NHL Second All-Star Team . Following the season, the Canadian decided against continuing his engagement with the Northern Californians because he wanted to play close to his Canadian hometown and family. As one of the most sought-after free agents of the summer of 2008, he finally signed an eight-year contract with an average annual salary of $ 7.1 million with the Chicago Blackhawks . With Chicago he won the Stanley Cup in the 2009/10 season .

On June 25, 2011, the Blackhawks gave him in exchange for Rostislav Olesz to the Florida Panthers . In the 2011/12 season , Campbell was named assistant captain of the team. He set a new personal record with 53 points at the end of the season, and with 49 assists he was also the second best assists in the league. At the same time, he was on the ice longer than any other player with almost 27 minutes per game, but only received six penalty minutes . Campbell was finally awarded the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy , which is awarded annually to the NHL player who was able to combine a high standard of sport and exemplary behavior. This made him the first defender to win the trophy since Red Kelly in 1954.

During the 2015/16 season Campbell completed his 1000th game in the NHL, before he made his 376th game in a row for the Panthers on the last day of the season and thus equaled the franchise record of Olli Jokinen . Beyond the season, however, he received no new contract from the Panthers, so he returned to the Chicago Blackhawks as a free agent in July 2016. The Canadian played one last season there before officially ending his career in July 2017 at the age of 38. Campbell then moved to Chicago's team of officials.
