Coach Hamilton was born & raised in Fort McMurray.  Throughout his childhood, he engaged in many different sports; however, hockey eventually emerged as his ultimate passion.  He played 9 years in the Fort McMurray Minor Hockey system then moved to Fort Saskatchewan to play in the AAA league for his last 4 years of Minor Hockey.  He then found his way back to his roots in Fort McMurray playing for the Jr. A Oil Barons, the team he grew up watching.  Following the Oil Barons, he embarked on a new venture moving to Cold Lake to play for the Ice where he was recognized as the Most Valuable Player.  

Jason moved to Edmonton to attend the University of Alberta to obtain his Bachelor of Secondary Education degree.  He graduated in April 2023 and is now teaching full time at École McTavish.  Coach Hamilton is excited to combine his passion for hockey with his commitment to education and have the chance to work with student athletes who share a similar passion for the sport of hockey and education.
