Charles answered the questions below:
CM: Why did you choose CM?
Charles: I am familiar with the state of Maine, but also because CM gives me the opportunity to study and play high level hockey at the same time. Also, I can have the chance to study and live in a different country.
CM: What did you like about the campus?
Charles: The thing I liked best about the campus was the fact that everything seemed so clean, respectful and close. It's a great campus, we don't need a map to prevent us from getting lost. It's simple, I like that!
CM: How will this experience differ from past experiences?
Charles: I see it as a challenge and an opportunity to learn from people I will be in touch with every day. And it's also going to be a challenge for me to study in a different language than French.
CM: What can you bring to the team next year?
Charles: I think my main asset as a hockey player isn't something that is obvious like shooting, stick handling, or skating….in fact, it's my passion. It's what pushes me to do things I wouldn't do if I hadn't had that sort of fire power inside me. It's undescriptive, I can bring so much passion and energy to a lineup. I just love the game so much!
According to Coach Cady, "Charles Campagna is a crafty right wing from Quebec with soft hands and a nose for the net. Charles is one of those kids that finds a hockey game to play even it means driving three to four hours each way. Central Maine is fortunate to land such a skilled and dedicated student-athlete."
Added CM Athletic Director, Dave Gonyea, "Charles is a major catch for our new program. He is the kind of personality and character you build your program around. Charles comes from a solid family structure which can only translate into positive leadership. Our vision is he becomes a team leader on and off the ice."
