March 20, 2013 | Ice Hockey
Hammond, 25, posted a 10-15-3 record with a 2.47 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage in 29 games with the Falcons this past season. He was the recipient of the team's Jim Sears Award (most valuable player) and Jim Ruehl Award (best defensive player) after both the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons.
Hammond's career ranks among the best in a number of goaltending categories in Bowling Green history, including a 2.84 goals against average that ranks second all-time, trailing only Brian Stankiewicz's 2.49 GAA set in just 34 career games. Hammond's goals against average is the most of any BG goaltender to play in over 100 career games. He also currently sits at 3,030 saves in his career, joining Gary Kruzich (3,580), Tyler Master (3,286) and Jordan Sigalet (3,147) in the 3K-Save Club.
A native of Surrey, B.C., Hammond earned a record of 30-68-13 in 111 games over four seasons at Bowling Green and attended the Chicago Blackhawks' prospect camp in 2012.
