Don Hamilton is a Canadian retired box lacrosse goaltender who also played professional ice hockey in goal, born on 18 February 1937 and nicknamed Mr. Nice Guy. He took up goaltending at twelve because of asthma and joined the Victoria Shamrocks of the Western Lacrosse Association in 1956. After moving to Vancouver in 1960 he played for the Vancouver Burrards, and on 23 September 1961 he blanked the Brampton Ramblers 13 to 0, the only shutout by a goaltender in a Mann Cup final of the box lacrosse era. He turned professional with the National Lacrosse Association in 1968, retired in 1976 after two Mann Cups in three attempts, and returned as the Burrards general manager in 1977. He was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1990.
