You know one of the first thing they tell you when you're a kid in PE? The most important thing is to participate. Kaapo Kampainen doesn't necessarily play to be flashy and he surely doesn't play to wow the fans with dirty dangles and highlights reel plays. It keeps things simple and sticks to the fundamentals and his hockey IQ. However, he always gives his 100% every night, even in a losing season, which makes him one of the hardest workers in the entire SMJHL. He may not win any scoring title, nor will he get noticed by the casual fans, but those who appreciate good hockey know Kampainen is one to watch. I think he would certainly win an award given to the most reliable player, who gives his 100% every night. His progression since he started is phenomenal, even making it to the All-Star Game this year. He surely came a long way from his disastrous first season with the Outlaws.
