Hamilton is lightning-quick through his first few steps, nimble on his edges, and explodes out of his pivots and turns. Dynamic in his skating approach, he shifts around defenders, explodes into open ice, and never stops moving his feet. He manipulates defenders to open high-value lanes, erases opposing rushes, and hammers opponents into the end boards. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
