With the sixth season under his belt, tenured head coach Jason Campbell said despite not reaching their ultimate goal last year of winning a Robertson Cup Championship, he was proud that the Mudbugs embraced the process and bought into their system. Along with their aspirations of becoming Champions, Campbell and his staff put a strong emphasis on teaching their players the team game and helping them fulfill their goals. Campbell reflects on his time coaching in Shreveport and commends the ever-present support from the community both on and off the ice. Despite losing key players to the NCAA, Campbell is excited about the roster they're bringing to the NAHL Showcase and South Division this year.
