Former Penn State defenseman Trevor Hamiltion’s post college career hasn’t been easy — but through it all, he has been able to maintain his positive attitude.
Shuffled between the AHL Grand Rapids Griffins and the ECHL Toledo Walleye of the Detroit Red Wings organization for his first professional year, Hamilton found his rookie season to be difficult.
“It was tough, kind of not having a solidified spot,” Hamilton said. “I even got called up the day of the game one time, and had to prepare myself on the ride over.”
Hamilton left Penn State as one of the most decorated defensemen to play for the program after being named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and first team All-Big Ten in 2018 following his senior season.
