Lowell's Hamilton Cleared of Drug Charge
CHN Staff Report
LOWELL, Mass. — Massachusetts-Lowell senior goaltender Nevin Hamilton has been cleared of drug charges stemming from an arrest two weeks ago in his hometown of Ashland, Mass.
Hamilton was arrested alongside 23-year-old Adam Neshe at 10:42 p.m. last Friday on Pond Street in Ashland.
“Nevin was in the wrong place at the wrong time,” said Mass.-Lowell head coach Blaise MacDonald. “Fortunately, justice has prevailed and he has been exonerated of all charges.”
Hamilton was between the pipes for the River Hawks in the Hockey East championship game, making 31 saves in a 1-0 loss to Boston University. Hamilton attended Marian Academy in Framingham, as did Neshe, the person whom he was arrested with.
Hamilton went 10-7-1 for UML last season with a 2.15 GAA and a .925 save percentage.
