About Red Hamill

Lived 1917 – 1985 (aged 68). Red Hamill was a Canadian ice hockey player.

Robert George "Red" Hamill (January 11, 1917, in Toronto, Ontario – December 16, 1985) was a professional ice hockey player who played 418 games in the National Hockey League. He played for the Chicago Black Hawks and Boston Bruins. He won the Stanley Cup in 1939 with the Boston Bruins.
