Bruno Campese stepping down as Raiders GM
After “living, breathing and dying Raiders” for the past eight years, Raiders general manager Bruno Campese will not return for a ninth as the Prince Albert Raiders officially announced Friday at the Art Hauser Centre.
When asked what the Raiders have meant to him in that time, Campese started by shaking his head.
“I can honestly tell you, it’s everything,” said Campese. “When I do something, I do it heart and soul. It’s tough, it is a tough day. As much as I’m happy to go home, it’s tough leaving this organization.”
After discussions with his family, Campese decided it was time to return home to West Kelowna, B.C. and be with them. On April 21 when the Raiders signed head coach Marc Habscheid to a four-year deal, Campese made it public that his father-in-law had recently passed away.
