Hamilton wins Max Kaminsky Trophy

Share

The Bruins may have been eliminated early from the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but their future still remains bright.

The Bruins' 2011 first round pick Dougie Hamilton was named the winner of the OHL's Max Kaminsky Trophy for the most outstanding defenceman.

Hamilton led all defencemen in the OHL in scoring with 17 goals and 55 assists in 50 games for the Niagra IceDogs.

This year has been a ton of fun and it is a huge honor to win this award, Hamilton said in a press release. I spent the last couple of years watching the best defencemen in the league and then trying to get myself to that point and it is exciting to be here now and receive this award. A lot of past winners have gone on to NHL careers and hopefully I can follow suit.

Some notable winners of the Kaminsky award are Al MacInnis, Chris Pronger, Brian Campbell, James Wisniewski, Marc Staal, Drew Doughty, and Ryan Ellis.
