'''Matthew James Hamilton''' (born February 19, 1989) is an American curler from McFarland, Wisconsin.<ref name="Profile">{{Cite web |title=Matt Hamilton |url=https://www.teamusa.org/usa-curling/athletes/Matt-Hamilton |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220123114807/http://www.teamusa.org/usa-curling/athletes/matt-hamilton |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 23, 2022 |website=TeamUSA.org |access-date=May 14, 2020}}</ref> He currently plays lead on Team John Shuster. He is a World Junior Champion, World Men's bronze medalist, and Olympic gold medalist.

==Curling career==

=== 2007–2014: Early career === Hamilton played for skip Jeremy Roe at the 2007 and 2008 United States Men's National Championships, placing seventh<ref>{{Cite web |title=2007 U.S. National Championships – Round-robin |url=https://www.curlingzone.com/event.php?eventid=1526&eventtypeid=2&view=Round-Robin#1 |website=CurlingZone |access-date=May 14, 2020}}</ref> and ninth,<ref>{{Cite web |title=2008 United States Curling Championships – Standings |url=http://www.curlingzone.com/forums/scores/2008USANationals/standingsm.php |website=CurlingZone |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080401034625/http://www.curlingzone.com/forums/scores/2008USANationals/standingsm.php |archive-date=April 1, 2008 |access-date=May 14, 2020}}</ref> respectively. In 2008 he also joined Chris Plys' junior team, who had won the National Junior Championship the two previous years. Hamilton helped make it four Junior National Titles in a row for Plys, winning the 2008 and 2009 championships.<ref name=":0">{{Cite magazine |last=Kolesar |first=Terry |date=June 7, 2009 |title=Plys leads USA to bronze at World Juniors |url=https://issuu.com/uscurlingnews/docs/u.s._curling_news |magazine=U.S. Curling News |page=10 |access-date=May 14, 2020}}</ref>

As national champions, Hamilton and Team Plys represented the United States at the World Junior Championships. At the 2008 World Juniors in Östersund, Sweden they took home gold medals after beating Sweden's Oskar Eriksson 9–5 in the final. While in Sweden, Hamilton won the championship's 2008 Sportsmanship Award, an award only given to one male junior curler and one female junior curler.<ref name="Profile" />

The following year, at the 2009 World Junior Championships held in the newly completed Vancouver Olympic Centre, they failed to defend their title, ending up with bronze medals.<ref name=":0" /> Hamilton and his juniors team also competed at the 2009 United States Olympic Trials, which doubled as that year's national championship, finishing in eighth place with a 3–6 record.

For the 2009–10 season Hamilton returned to Jeremy Roe's team, as third.

In the stages leading up to the 2011 United States Men's Curling Championship, he played as Paul Pustovar's second through the Medford qualifier and the challenge round, eventually qualifying for the Nationals. He replaced Pustovar as skip in the Nationals and finished seventh with a 3–6 win–loss record.

Starting with the 2011–12 curling season, Hamilton joined Craig Brown at third for three seasons. This stint culminated with a silver medal at the {{USMCC|2014|2014 National Championship}}, Hamilton's first men's championship medal.

=== 2014–2018: Gold with Team Shuster === After the 2014 Winter Olympics, the United States Curling Association held an athlete combine to determine which curlers to include in their High Performance Program (HPP) aimed at having better success at the next Olympics. Hamilton attended the combine but was not chosen as one of the ten male HPP curlers. John Shuster, three-time Olympian at that point, was also not chosen and, in response, created a new team nicknamed "The Rejects", bringing on Hamilton at second, fellow Olympian and combine reject John Landsteiner at lead, and Tyler George at third, who hadn't attended the combine due to his work.<ref name="Peters">{{cite magazine |last=Peters |first=Justin |date=February 22, 2018 |title=Somebody Needs to Make a Movie About John Shuster and His Ragtag Team of Curling Rejects |url=https://slate.com/culture/2018/02/john-shuster-and-the-underdog-us-mens-curling-team-will-play-for-gold-in-pyeongchang.html |magazine=Slate Magazine |access-date=February 22, 2018}}</ref> They maintained this line-up for four seasons and found great success. At their first National Championships together in {{USMCC|2015|2015}}, they defeated Hamilton's former skip Brown in the final to win the gold medal.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2015 USA Men's National Championship – Playoffs |url=https://www.curlingzone.com/event.php?eventid=3754&eventtypeid=81&view=Playoffs#1 |website=CurlingZone |access-date=May 14, 2020}}</ref> Representing the United States at the {{WMCC|2015|2015 World Championship}} in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Team Shuster missed out on the playoffs when they lost a tiebreaker to Finland's Aku Kauste.<ref>{{Cite web |title=FINLAND EKES OUT TIEBREAKER WIN AT FORD WORLDS |url=https://www.curling.ca/blog/2015/04/03/finland-ekes-out-tiebreaker-win-at-ford-worlds/ |date=April 3, 2015 |website=Curling Canada |access-date=May 14, 2020}}</ref> As a result of its success, Team Shuster was added to the High Performance Program for 2016.<ref name="Peters" />

Hamilton and his team came up just short of defending their national title in {{USMCC|2016|2016}}, losing to Brady Clark in the final. Despite finishing in second, Team Shuster earned enough points throughout the season to secure their return trip to the {{WMCC|2016|World Championship}}.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Team Clark sweeps up national title |url=https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Curling/Features/2016/February/13/Team-Clark-sweeps-up-national-title |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160217064418/http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Curling/Features/2016/February/13/Team-Clark-sweeps-up-national-title |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 17, 2016 |last=Davis |first=Terry |date=February 13, 2016 |website=USA Curling |access-date=May 14, 2020}}</ref> In Basel, Switzerland they defeated Japan's Yusuke Morozumi in the bronze medal match, earning the first World Men's medal for the United States since 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |title=U.S. Men's Curling Team Wins First World Medal In 9 Years |url=https://www.teamusa.org/News/2016/April/10/US-Mens-Curling-Team-Wins-First-World-Medal-In-9-Years |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160413103556/http://www.teamusa.org/News/2016/April/10/US-Mens-Curling-Team-Wins-First-World-Medal-In-9-Years |url-status=dead |archive-date=April 13, 2016 |last=Bohnert |first=Shane |date=April 10, 2016 |website=Team USA |access-date=May 14, 2020}}</ref> For the 2016–17 season they added Joe Polo, a former teammate of Shuster and George, as alternate and won the {{USMCC|2017|2017 National Championship}}.

Early in his fourth season on Team Shuster, Hamilton won the 2017 United States Olympic Curling Trials<ref name="Peters" /> with them and then a month later won the 2017 United States Mixed Doubles Curling Olympic Trials with Becca, earning his spot in both curling disciplines for his first Olympics.

In the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, the US team lost four of its first six matches and needed to win all of its three remaining matches to qualify for the playoffs, but all of its remaining opponents (Canada, Switzerland, and Great Britain) were currently among the top four teams. Nevertheless, the US team won all three matches to finish the round-robin in third place with a record of 5–4. In the semifinals, they defeated Canada's Kevin Koe, a two-time world champion, to reach the gold-medal match versus Niklas Edin's team representing Sweden. The gold-medal game was close through seven ends, with the score tied 5–5, but the United States scored five in the eighth end to set up a 10–7 victory.<ref name="Peters" /><ref>{{cite news |last=Estes |first=Gentry |date=February 23, 2018 |title=Morning Coffee: To John Shuster of USA Curling: I'm sorry for doubting you |newspaper=Louisville Courier-Journal |url=https://www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/2018/02/23/john-shuster-usa-curling-im-sorry-doubting-you/363123002/ |access-date=February 23, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Hendricks |first=Maggie |date=February 28, 2018 |title=Olympic curler John Shuster on the mantra that brought his team back from brink of elimination |newspaper=USA Today |url=http://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/02/olympic-curler-john-shuster-on-the-mantra-that-brought-his-team-back-from-brink-of-elimination |access-date=March 3, 2018}}</ref> This was the first Olympic gold medal in curling for the United States.

=== 2018–present: Post-Olympics === After the Olympics, George took a break from competitive curling, and Team Shuster replaced him at third with Chris Plys. The slightly revamped team continued winning, taking gold at the 2019 United States Men's Championship. At the 2019 World Men's Championship, they finished in fifth place, having lost to Japan in the first round of playoffs. They defended their United States title at the 2020 United States Men's Championship, defeating Rich Ruohonen in the final to finish the tournament undefeated.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Schneider |first=Angela |url=https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/feb/15/john-shuster-caps-unbeaten-run-through-usa-curling/ |title=John Shuster caps unbeaten run through USA Curling Nationals with win over Rich Ruohonen in final |date=February 15, 2020 |work=The Spokesman-Review |access-date=February 19, 2020}}</ref> The national title would have earned Team Shuster a spot at the final Grand Slam of the season, the Champions Cup,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Curling/Features/2020/February/12/Ruohonen-Joins-Shuster-in-Top-Page-Game |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200213215042/https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Curling/Features/2020/February/12/Ruohonen-Joins-Shuster-in-Top-Page-Game |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 13, 2020 |title=Ruohonen Joins Shuster in Top Page Game |date=February 12, 2020 |website=USA Curling |access-date=February 13, 2020}}</ref> as well as the chance to represent the United States at the 2020 World Men's Curling Championship, but both events were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.thestar.com/sports/curling/2020/03/14/mens-curling-world-championship-in-scotland-cancelled-due-to-covid-19.html |title=Canadian curling continues to get hammered by novel coronavirus cancellations |date=March 14, 2020 |website=The Star |access-date=April 27, 2020}}</ref>

Team Shuster represented the United States at the 2021 World Men's Curling Championship, which was played in a fan-less bubble in Calgary due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. There, the team led the U.S. to a 10–3 round robin record, in third place.<ref>{{Cite news |date=March 14, 2021 |title=Canada eliminated from men's curling worlds with tense loss to Scotland |work=CBC |url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/winter/curling/curling-worlds-canada-april-9-1.5981781 |access-date=April 11, 2021}}</ref> They played Switzerland in the playoffs, in a game which was delayed a day due to some curlers testing positive for the virus.
