My conversations with Derek were great and made me feel like I can be a huge asset to the team. I like to play a 200-foot game and work on all aspects of the ice. As a teammate, I like to be out-going and a team first guy to contribute and want to bring that energy to Iowa.”  

Head Coach and General Manager Derek Damon: "Nick gained a lot of important experience playing for an excellent collegiate program and is going to provide the kind of two-way effort we need from our forwards. We want to give him the best opportunity to develop and think the style he plays is going to translate into the pro game. With a month and a half until training camp, we’re happy with how the roster is taking shape and expect to take a few more important steps so we are primed heading into training camp.”Campoli stands 5-foot-11 and weighs 190 pounds. The left-handed shot was selected in the 6th round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft by Vegas. The Toronto, ON native played in all but eight games in his entire collegiate career at Clarkson.
