GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins on Saturday recalled defenseman Trevor Hamilton from the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye.

In his first full season as a professional, Hamilton has split the campaign between Grand Rapids and Toledo. While making his AHL debut, the 24-year-old has appeared in 14 games with the Griffins, recording three points (1-2—3) and eight penalty minutes. He registered his first goal on Dec. 15 vs. Milwaukee and his first two-point outing with a pair of assists on Jan. 5 at Hershey. Skating in 28 games with Toledo, Hamilton shows 14 points (5-9—14), a plus-three rating and 20 PIM.

The 6-foot, 195-pound blueliner made his pro debut at the end of 2017-18, playing in four games with Toledo and registering one assist. A native of Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich., Hamilton was named the Big Ten’s Defensive Player of the Year and a First Team All-Big Ten selection last season after pacing all conference defensemen with 29 points (6-23—29) in 38 contests for the Penn State Nittany Lions.

The Griffins continue their season-high six-game road trip tonight against the Texas Stars at 8 p.m. EDT.
