Cassie Campbell is the only captain, male or female, to lead a Canadian hockey team to two
Olympic Gold Medals. She led the women’s hockey team to their unforgettable Gold at the
2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, and again, at the 2006 Olympics in Torino. On top of
that, Cassie is the winner of 6 world championships, and remains the longest serving captain in
Canadian hockey history.
In October 2006, Cassie made the history books again, when she became the only woman
ever to call colour commentary on Hockey Night in Canada. She appears regularly on Hockey
Night in Canada, as a reporter, and on TSN, where she covers all aspects of women’s hockey.
She has also worked for Rogers Sportsnet, Flames TV, and the NHL Network. She also worked
alongside Peter Mansbridge at the CBC for that network’s coverage of the 2010 Olympic bid
coverage.

Audience Testimonials
"Cassie was just wonderful - she was engaging and her message was perfect for the meeting.
On the way down from the restuarant several people said to me, 'you know, events like this
where we get to hear from such an amazing person is what being part of Coke is all about.'
For an international and fairly sophistcated audience to say that is high praise! We are still
talking about her and her message today."
