Andrew Robert Hammond (born February 11, 1988 in White Rock , British Columbia ) is a Canadian ice hockey goalkeeper who has been under contract with the Buffalo Sabers in the National Hockey League since July 2019 and for their farm team , the Rochester Americans , in the American Hockey League is used.

Career

youth

Andrew Hammond played in the Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association in his hometown of White Rock before moving to the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) at the beginning of the season for the Westside Warriors , which are based in Kelowna, about 350 kilometers away . There he came only to one use, in which he conceded four goals in 34 minutes, after which he was deleted from the Warriors' squad. Hammond was already considering stopping playing ice hockey at this point, but he was convinced by the coach of the Grandview Steelers to join his team and play in the Pacific Junior Hockey League, which was one level lower . Hammond agreed and achieved a 93% catch rate in 27 regular season runs. He also advanced with the team to the final of the play-offs, where they lost to the Abbotsford Pilots .

With these successes, the Canadian rejoined a team from the BCHL, the Surrey Eagles , at the beginning of the 2007/08 season . From there, however, after 32 games during the current season, he was transferred to the Vernon Vipers , 400 kilometers away - another reason for Hammond to doubt the continuation of his career. Again the goalkeeper decided against an early retirement and should experience his breakthrough in the BCHL with the Vipers in the following season 2008/09. In the regular season he achieved the best goals against goals in the league of 2.30 and was awarded the BCHL Top Goaltender Award for this. In addition, he won with the team not only the Fred Page Cup as the playoff winner of the BCHL, where he achieved a catch rate of 94.6%, but also the Doyle Cup and finally the Royal Bank Cup as the best Canadian Junior team Hockey League .

university

In the summer of 2009, Hammond enrolled at Bowling Green State University and ran from then on for their Bowling Green Falcons in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association . The first year was disappointing, so the Falcons won no game and ended the season in penultimate place, while Hammond allowed an average of 4.30 goals per game. As a sophomore, he increased his statistics significantly and at the end of the season was honored within the team as the best and most valuable defensive player. While he had to share the playing times with Nick Eno in the first two seasons, he was the undisputed goalkeeper of the Falcons at the beginning of the 2011/12 season and played all 44 games. Having a junior training camp in the summer of 2012 Chicago Blackhawks had visited, he spent the 2012/13 season still in Bowling Green before he held in March 2013 free agent one entry contract with the Ottawa Senators signed.

Ottawa Senators

Hammond took part in the Senators' pre-season, but was given over to the Binghamton Senators , the farm team from the American Hockey League (AHL). The Canadian was regularly caught between the posts in Binghamton before he was first called to the Ottawa Senators squad in February 2014. He replaced Craig Anderson , whose wife was expecting a child, and acted as a substitute goalkeeper behind Robin Lehner . In his first game, Hammond came to 35 minutes of ice time when he replaced Lehner, who had previously allowed six goals against the Detroit Red Wings . Hammond parried eleven shots and did not allow another goal. This debut in the National Hockey League (NHL) would be his only game in the highest North American league; In the AHL, he recorded a catch quota of 91.0% in 48 games.

At the beginning of the 2014/15 season, the goalkeeper continued to play for the Binghamton Senators before he was called back to the NHL squad in February 2015, as Robin Lehner had previously injured himself in the game. Hammond played the following four games, scoring two shutouts and thus had a significant role in the fact that the Senator won more than two games in a row for the second time in the season. After he was named this week's First Star by these achievements , he established himself in the Senators' squad and received further service time. Of the first twelve games with him as the first goalkeeper, the team had won eleven, with Hammond setting a record from the NHL season 1938/39: Just like Frank Brimsek back then , he managed to concede fewer than three goals in the first twelve starts . On March 19, he had the opportunity to beat this record in the game against the Boston Bruins , but the Senators won 6-4 against the Bruins.

In recognition of his achievements, he was named NHL Player of the Month for March and received a new three-year contract with the Senators following the 2014/15 season. At the beginning of the 2016/17 season, he lost his place in the NHL Senators squad to Mike Condon , who was signed by the Pittsburgh Penguins , so that he was used again in the AHL.

Colorado, Minnesota, and Buffalo

In November 2017, the Senators gave the goalkeeper to the Colorado Avalanche as part of a larger swap deal including Shane Bowers , a first-round vote in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and a third-round vote in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft . They also transferred Kyle Turris to the Nashville Predators , who in turn sent Samuel Girard , Wladislaw Kamenew and a second-round vote for the 2018 draft to Colorado, so that the Senators ultimately signed Matt Duchene from the Avalanche for a total of four players and three draft picks . Hammond himself was loaned back to the Belleville Senators , who have been Ottawa's new farm team since the start of the season , immediately after the transfer . In February 2018 he was finally called to Colorado for good.

At the end of the 2017/18 season, however, Hammond did not get a continuing contract in Colorado, so he joined the Minnesota Wild as a free agent in July 2018 . In the same way, he moved to the Buffalo Sabers after a year without NHL use .

Trivia

Hammond's nickname is The Hamburglar , a Portmanteau word from Hamburger and burglar (German: "burglar"). He received it in allusion to the advertising figure of the same name from the McDonald’s restaurant chain , as Hammond says he likes to eat there. After his sensational first NHL appearances, six McDonald's restaurants in the Ottawa area guaranteed him a lifetime of free food.

With the start of the 2015/16 season, Hammond wears a mask that (next to the Hamburglar) is decorated with a butterfly and the initials JP . He is honoring a fifteen-year-old fan of the Senators who suffers from epidermolysis bullosa (colloquially "butterfly skin"), and at the same time wants to draw more attention to the disease.
