Kamppuri was a star in his native Finland, having played with traditional Finnish club powerhouses Jokerit and Tappara
Tampere, among other teams.
He signed with the Edmonton Oilers when they were still in the WHA, and struggled to stick with them. In signing with the
Devils, this was his last shot at the NHL.
And as you can see, things didn't fare well with him in New Jersey.
He retired after the 89-90 season. He was playing with KooKoo Kouvola at the time... (snickers) What a strange name for a
hockey team. Sounds like lyrics from a Beatles song.
