== Early life ==
Hamonic, who is of [Metis](/source/M%C3%A9tis_in_Canada) ancestry,<ref>{{cite web |last1=Sachdeva |first1=Sonny |date=10 December 2017 |title=After Hours: Hamonic launching new project to help Indigenous families |url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/hours-hamonic-launching-new-project-help-indigenous-families/ |access-date=11 December 2017 |work=Sportsnet}}</ref> grew up on Hamonic Farms in Manitoba, mostly farming with his dad and, at the age of five, discovered ice hockey. When he was ten years old, his father Gerald died due to a major [heart attack](/source/heart_attack).

Hamonic was selected to join Team Canada for the [2010 IIHF World Junior Championships](/source/2010_World_Junior_Ice_Hockey_Championships). He was paired with [Marco Scandella](/source/Marco_Scandella) to form Canada's shutdown defence pairing in the tournament. Canada advanced to the semifinals and in their game versus [Switzerland](/source/Switzerland_men's_national_junior_ice_hockey_team), he was checked from behind by Jeffrey Fuglister in the final minute of play.
