Gilles Hamel

Gilles Julien Hamel (born March 18, 1960) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey right wing.

Hamel made his professional debut with the Sabres' American Hockey League affiliate, the Rochester Americans, in the 1980 Calder Cup playoffs.

Hamel had the most prolific goal-scoring season of his NHL career in 1986–87 with Winnipeg, notching 27 goals.

After a mediocre 1987–88, however, and spending much of the early 1988–89 season in the AHL, Hamel was traded to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Paul Fenton.

He also played in 27 NHL playoff games, scoring four goals and five assists.
