Dougie Hamilton, despite playing for 3 different NHL teams before his 26th birthday, is right at home with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Dougie Hamilton was selected 9th overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft by the Boston Bruins. On December 8, 2011, Hamilton signed his 3-year entry level contract with the Bruins, but would not see any NHL level ice-time until the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season when the Bruins called him up for 42 games. Hamilton registered 5 goals and 11 assists for a combined 16 points in that time span.
Hamilton’s tenure with Boston would be over at the end of his entry-level contract, as the Bruins dealt him to the Calgary Flames during the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.
