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 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.
