Born in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Campbell grew up in Brampton, Ontario, playing for the Brampton Canadettes.[2] She was the captain of the Canadian women's ice hockey team during the 2002 Winter Olympics and led the team to a gold medal. The left winger took on the role of captain again in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, and again successfully led her team to a gold medal with a 4 – 1 win over Sweden.

Campbell has done modeling, and hosted women's hockey segments on TSN's hockey broadcasts. She attended high school at North Park Secondary School Brampton, and is an alumna of the University of Guelph, in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.
In honour of Campbell's success, the City of Brampton and Mayor Susan Fennell named a new Recreation Centre, the Cassie Campbell Community Centre, which officially opened in 2007. The Hockey Canada Board and Wayne Gretzky attended the unveiling.
Retirement from hockey[]
Campbell retired from competitive hockey on August 30, 2006.[3] She then joined Hockey Night in Canada as a rinkside reporter, becoming (on October 14, 2006) the first woman to do colour commentary on a Hockey Night in Canada broadcast.[4] She filled in when Harry Neale was snowed in at his home in Buffalo.[5] She launched her own website in the spring of 2008, and is a spokesperson for Scotiabank.

During the two years, her biggest involvement had been helping to secure sponsorships for the league.
At the 9th Canadian Screen Awards in 2021, Campbell won the award for Best Sports Analysis or Commentary.[11]
