The Hamiltons are a rather athletic family. At the 1984 Summer Olympics, Doug Hamilton, a rower, met Lynn Hamilton, a basketball player. Together, they had two sons: Freddie Hamilton, born on Jan. 1, 1992; and Dougie Hamilton, born June 17, 1993.
Freddie was drafted in the fifth round, 129th overall, by the San Jose Sharks in the 2010 NHL entry draft. Dougie, on the other hand, was drafted in the first round, ninth overall, by the Boston Bruins in the 2011 NHL entry draft. Dougie joined the Flames in June 2015; now, Freddie is a member of the same team as of today: the Flames gave up a conditional 2016 seventh round pick to acquire him.
