Laurentian UniversityÂ?s loss is Dalhousie UniversityÂ?s gain as veteran Lady Vees coach John Campbell announced Tuesday heÂ?s leaving Laurentian for a new job on the East Coast.

Campbell is leaving Laurentian after five years at the helm of the Lady Vees to assume the role of head coach of the menÂ?s varsity team at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia.

During his five years in charge, Campbell compiled a tremendous record of success, including two Ontario University Association (OUA) championships and playoff appearances every season.

This past season, the Lady Vees were the second-ranked team in Canada compiling a 17-0 record, before things fell apart and they lost their final three games and their first-round playoff game.

Campbell was recognized for his coaching ability as winner of OUA Coach of the Year on three separate occasions.

Laurentian has actively began the search for CampbellÂ?s replacement with hopes of filling the job within four to six weeks, said athletic director Peter Hellstrom.
