Campbell agrees to 1-year deal with Blackhawks

CHICAGO -- Brian Campbell wanted to return to Chicago and the Blackhawks were more than willing to welcome him back.

The veteran defenseman is back with the team that he helped win the Stanley Cup in 2010, agreeing to a one-year contract on Friday.

"It's where I wanted to be. It's where my heart was," said Campbell, who lives in the Chicago area with his family. "It just makes our lives perfect. We're so ecstatic."

The 37-year-old Campbell played in Chicago from 2008 to 2011 and was a key part of a team that brought home the first championship since 1961.
