PAGE 10 OFFICIAL GAMEDAY PROGRAM OFFICIAL GAMEDAY PROGRAM PAGE 11 Continued from Page 8 “Every Campbell [name] is called ‘soup,’ right, so I was called Soupy when I played, which I didn’t like,” explained Campbell.

The former defenceman declared, “people call me Coli.” He described the introduction of the nickname semi as a means to explain the proper pronunciation of his name by teammates and Doug Gibson. “Only him and Craig Ramsay call me ‘Semi,’ because semi-colon. Its not Colin [with a soft o], its Colin [with a hard o], but that’s not me, that’s my mom, she called me Colin, so what do you do?”

Regardless of his approval, the inside joke has sustained the test of time as Gibson, a one-time scout, and previous coach, Ramsay, continue to refer to Campbell as the first half of a punctuation mark.

“They were only two guys. I see them every now and then and we used to go out and he’s the only guy that calls me ‘semi.’”

Coli and the box Before room for timekeepers and separate penalty boxes, hockey players in the OHL were forced to share a bench with their opponent in the sin bin.

In the early 70ss the OHL implemented a regulation requiring all rinks in the league to build separate penalty boxes, corresponding to the home and visiting team in the likely chance there was a member from each team simultaneously sent for a timeout.

Regardless of this request, the management of the Memorial Centre did not succumb to the league’s structural suggestions. That is until, Colin and Greg Neeld entered a royal rumble in the single box during a home game against the Sudbury Wolves.

“I got in a fight in the penalty box once. It was on all out brawl, and a guy by the name of Greg Neeld jumped up to kick me, and I twisted his foot and we went down between there and turned in to a brawl out on the ice.”

He described the disapproval of his then coach and future colleague, “Roger came down and told me to stop because we had to go cross ice to our bench [East side of building].”

According to unofficial Petes historian and member of the Peterborough Hall of Fame Pete Pearson, two penalty boxes were put in the rink shortly after.

A special team Colin Campbell was a member of some of the Petes’ most successful teams, including the 1971-72 roster that saw an OHA championship and berth to the Memorial Cup final. That same year the Jim Mahon Award, give to a player exemplifying outstanding hockey skills and sportsmanship, was introduced in honour of the gentle giant of a defenceman whose life was cut short the summer before.

Campbell recalled memories with his teammate from the previous season. “We were both running against each other and we were in the last leg of In this digital world what is a travel agent and what do they really do? the four by one hundred meter [relay].
