Kaapo Kampainen is a reserved guy and he is mostly camera shy. He doesn't live and thrill to see the spotlights on him, he prefers to stay a bit in the shadows, lurking around but doing a good enough job so he keeps his job, of course. Which is why it came as a bit of a surprise for him when he was named captain of the Anaheim Outlaws. The quiet force behind his outspoken teammates, Kampainen was very different from the rest of the Outlaws and decided to stay clear of the controversies and let his on-ice play do the talking. It didn't really pay off for him as he had another disappointing season as the first centerman on the Californian team, but most people would agree that the team overachieved. It wouldn't have happened without Kampainen's quiet leadership and his work off the ice to get his team to perform at his best. It didn't quite work out like he intended but Kaapo keeps his head high and leaves the Outlaws for the SHL as they are on the verge of greatness and with a feeling that his teammates have learned a lot from his hard working style on the ice.
