Playing career
Freddie was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario to Doug Hamilton and Lynn Hamilton (née Polson), both members of Team Canada for the 1984 Summer Olympics (rowing and basketball, respectively). As a young talented hockey player for the Toronto Marlboros, At the time he attended Crestwood Preparatory College. He and his brother Dougie Hamilton played with the Marlboros until the 2008 Ontario Hockey League (OHL) draft where Freddie went 14th overall to the Niagara IceDogs. Freddie was the first ever draft pick in the Niagara IceDogs history.[1] This forced the Hamilton family to move to St. Catharines, Ontario. Once settled in, Freddie started attending Governor Simcoe Secondary School where he kept a 99% average leading to him winning the Ivan Tennant Memorial Award. Freddie graduated from Governor Simcoe in 2010. Hamilton now attends Brock University part-time.
After two seasons with the IceDogs, Hamilton was selected by the San Jose Sharks in the fifth round (129th overall) of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. He played his first NHL game with the Sharks on October 21, 2013 against the Detroit Red Wings playing on a line with captain Joe Thornton and fellow rookie Tomas Hertl.
In the 2014–15 season, Hamilton began his third season with the Worcester Sharks. After featuring in a solitary game with San Jose he was reassigned to Worcester and in 49 games produced 9 goals and 30 points before on March 2, 2015, he was traded by the Sharks to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Karl Stollery.[2] On March 19, 2015, Hamilton scored his first NHL goal in the Colorado Avalanche 5-2 victory over the Arizona Coyotes.
Before the start of the 2015–16 season on October 4, 2015, he was traded by the Colorado Avalanche for a conditional seventh round pick to the Calgary Flames, the same team which his brother Dougie was newly traded to.[3]
In the 2017–18 season, Hamilton was primarily used as the reserve forward on the Flames roster. Having appeared in just 8 games, on January 4, 2018, Hamilton was claimed off waivers by the Arizona Coyotes.[4] He remained on the Coyotes roster, continuing to be sparingly used to appear in another 8 scoreless games to complete the season. On June 24, 2018, it was announced that Hamilton would not receive a qualifying offer to remain in Arizona, releasing him to free agency.[5]
