Ottawa Senators Goalie, The Hamburglar, Will Get Free McDonald's For Life
Ottawa Sun – Andrew Hammond joked that he didn’t eat the hamburger thrown to the ice at Canadian Tire Centre following Sunday’s victory because it was “cold.”
Fact of the matter is, The Hamburglar can now get all he wants, straight off the grill. Thanks to John Bergeron, the Senators goalie will be delivered a card that will give him free McDonald’s food for life. Bergeron is the father of Chris Bergeron, who coached Hammond for three seasons at Bowling Green. He also owns six McDonald’s locations in the Ottawa Valley and is a big Senators supporter.
Bergeron was so moved by the rise of The Hamburglar and appreciative of the promotion provided by the Senators goalie he called the VP of marketing at the head office in Toronto, suggesting a hamburger giveaway at Canadian Tire Centre. Toronto wanted to go one further and give Hammond the lifetime card.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Andrew Hammond came out of nowhere this year, but for the past month, he’s been pretty much unbeatable. The Hamburglar’s record since getting called up to the Sens this year is 10-0-1 and somehow he’s been keeping the Senators kinda sorta in the playoff picture. There’s a very good chance you had no idea who Andrew Hammond was just a few shorts weeks ago, and neither did I. But now, the dude is getting hooked up with free McDonald’s for life. FOR LIFE. And not even just for his hockey life. But until the day he keels over and dies. Think about all the Shamrock Shakes you could get today with that lifetime MickyD’s card. If you guessed all of the Shamrock Shakes, you are correct. I feel like once you get a lifetime card at McDonald’s, you never have to worry about anything else ever again. Maybe besides diabetes, but still. He has it made. Sure, he may have only played in 13 NHL games his entire career at the age of 27, but that’s what makes this even better. He’s a true Road Warrior. He’s had his stints in juniors, been through the Cawlidge Hockey route, time in the AHL as a very mediocre goaltender, and now here he is. Getting free Big Macs for life. It’s the Hamburglar’s world. And we’re just lucky enough to be living in it.
