Douglas Jonathan Hamilton Jr. (born June 17, 1993) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman for the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Early life edit

Hamilton was born July 17, 1993, in Toronto, Ontario.[1] His parents met when they both represented Canada at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Doug Hamilton Sr. was a bronze medalist rower in the men's quadruple sculls, while Lynn Polson finished in fourth place as a point guard on the Canadian women's national basketball team.[2] The Hamiltons encouraged Dougie and his older brother Freddie to dabble in a variety of sports, and both siblings developed a passion for ice hockey.[3] As a teenager, Hamilton spent one year at Crestwood Preparatory College in Toronto but transferred to Governor Simcoe Secondary School when his family moved to St. Catharines.[4][5] He played minor ice hockey for the St. Catharines Falcons of the South-Central Triple A Hockey League, scoring 20 goals and 53 points in 67 games during the 2008–09 season.[6]
