Jim Campbell, an American ice hockey player, embarked on his professional career after being drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 1991 NHL Entry Draft. Born on April 3, 1973, in Worcester, Massachusetts, Campbell developed his skills in the United States Hockey League (USHL) and later at Providence College, where he played for the Friars.

Campbell's NHL journey began with the Canadiens, but he found his stride after being claimed by the St. Louis Blues in the 1996 NHL Waiver Draft. It was with the Blues that he enjoyed the most productive years of his career. During the 1996-1997 season, Campbell played 68 games and scored 23 goals, adding 19 assists for a total of 42 points. His performance helped solidify his role as a reliable right winger for the team.

Over the next few seasons, Campbell continued to contribute to the Blues' lineup, although his production varied. In the 1997-1998 season, he recorded 14 goals and 16 assists in 75 games. Injuries, however, began to affect his play, and his numbers dipped in the following seasons. Despite these challenges, Campbell remained a valued member of the team, known for his work ethic and ability to play both ends of the ice.

In 1999, Campbell was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he played 36 games and scored 5 goals with 7 assists. His time with the Lightning was short-lived, as he was traded again in 2000 to the Florida Panthers. Campbell's stint with the Panthers was brief, and he soon found himself moving to the Chicago Blackhawks, where he played 13 games in the 2000-2001 season.

After his time in the NHL, Campbell continued his career in the American Hockey League (AHL) and the International Hockey League (IHL), playing for teams such as the Worcester IceCats, Utah Grizzlies, and Springfield Falcons. He also had a stint overseas with the Frankfurt Lions in Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).

Campbell's professional career concluded after the 2005-2006 season.
