Campbell began her university career at the University of North Dakota, where she redshirted her first year. She was forced to transfer to Wisconsin in 2017 after North Dakota dropped its women's hockey program.[3][4] She would become the fourth goaltender in Wisconsin history to record 90 wins with the university, being named WCHA Goaltender of the Year and a top-10 finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award in 2018.[5] In 2019, she would backstop the university to their first national championship since 2011.[6][7] During the national championship tournament, she was the first goaltender to earn three straight shutouts[8] and was named Most Outstanding Player.[9]
After graduating, she joined the PWHPA ahead of the 2020-21 season.[10]
Campbell was drafted in the third round, 14th overall, to PWHL Toronto.[11] During the 2023–24 season, she posted a 16–6–0 record with three shutouts and a 1.99 goals-against average. Despite her efforts in the postseason, PWHL Toronto would be eliminated in five games by PWHL Minnesota, who would go on to win the Walter Cup. Following the season Campbell was named PWHL Goaltender of the Year.[12] Campbell continued with the Toronto Sceptres for the 2024–25 season, where she posted a 9–8–4 record with a .910 save percentage.
During the 2025 PWHL draft, the Sceptres traded Campbell and the 19th overall pick to PWHL Vancouver in exchange for the 16th and 23rd overall picks.[13]
On January 11, 2022, Campbell was named to Canada's 2022 Olympic team.[17][18][19] She was the third goaltender on the roster and did not see any game action, but received a gold medal.[20]
