News about John Hamilton

Following Auston Matthews' latest hat trick against Philadelphia, a Toronto Maple Leafs fan almost cost him his prized fedora. When a man seated behind him was able to grab his brown $300 Stetson and fling it onto the ice at Scotiabank Arena, season ticket holder John Hamilton, 73, was celebrating Matthews' three-goal effort in a victory over the Flyers. Hamilton told the Toronto Sun, 'I was surprised.' I thought it was a joke at first, too, until I realized my hat on the ice.' A video of the incident has gone viral, showing the younger fan blaming his colleague and cameraman for his overexuberance. The fan yelled at me off camera, gesturing toward his buddy off-screen,' the fan said.'He told me to.'
