Colin Campbell out as NHL disciplinarian
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Colin Campbell has dropped his duties as the NHL's chief disciplinarian.
The veteran executive has relinquished a key component of his job just before the start of the Stanley Cup Finals involving his son Gregory, a member of the Boston Bruins.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has confirmed the news Wednesday ahead of Game 1 of the finals between Boston and Vancouver. Bettman says Brendan Shanahan will take over the job. Shanahan will also oversee a committee on player safety.

Campbell will continue to work for the NHL.
