Thunder Bay Kings 18U forward Nickolas Campbell, 16, helped his team to a 3-1-0 record during the October event and put up some great offensive numbers.

The Thunder Bay product had seven points in four games, which included three goals and four assists.

Campbell recorded at least one point in all four games and had two multi-point games, which included two goals, including the game-winner, in a 4-2 win over Colorado Springs.

He is presently tied for second in under-18 NAPHL Elite Division scoring with 10 points this season with teammate Nicholas De Grazia.

Meanwhile minor midget Kings netminder Julien Lefebvre was named second star in the U-16 goaltenders’ category for the month.
