James Tower Campbell (born February 3, 1973) is an American former political candidate and professional ice hockey player. He played 285 games in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Tampa Bay Lightning, Florida Panthers, Chicago Blackhawks, Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis Blues and Mighty Ducks of Anaheim before finishing his career in Europe. Campbell was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, but grew up in Westborough.

Campbell was a candidate in the Republican primary for Missouri's 4th district in the 2022 United States House of Representatives elections.^[1]

As a youth, Campbell played in the 1987 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the Boston Bruins' minor ice hockey team.^[2]

Campbell was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round, 28th overall, of the 1991 NHL Entry Draft. However, he had a breakout period with the St. Louis Blues in 1996, scoring 84 points over two seasons. Campbell faced a lingering groin problem that started to affect his performance, leading to a slump and frequent team changes across different leagues.

Campbell played for the Springfield Falcons in the American Hockey League while contracted to the Tampa Bay Lightning, who loaned him to the Philadelphia Phantoms midway through the 2005–06 season in exchange for Dan Cavanaugh. While in Philly, he posted 12 goals, 17 assists, for 29 points and 46 penalty minutes in 35 games.^{[citation needed]}

Campbell played two games for HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk in the Russian Super League in 2003–04 season and spent the 2006–07 season with EHC Basel in Switzerland's Nationalliga A. Campbell, or "Soup" as he is well known as, officially hung up the skates in 2008 but remains a force in the St. Louis hockey scene.^{[citation needed]}

In 1993, Campbell won Tampere Cup and became the top scorer of the tournament.^{[citation needed]}

Jim Campbell lives in St. Louis, where he operates a number of pubs, including JP Fields' in Clayton and the Geyer Inn in Kirkwood. He has coached several local youth teams, including Whitfield School, Chesterfield CSDHL, and Carshield AAA. His son, Seamus, plays for the Aberdeen Wings and has committed to play college hockey at Quinnipiac University.
