Family, Dating & Relationship Status
As of 2025, Travis Hamonic is relatively private about his personal life. However, there have been rumors linking him to various relationships over the years. While not publicly confirmed, it is speculated that he may be dating someone special, but he has chosen to keep details of his romantic life low-key.

Hamonic, who is of Metis ancestry, 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. A year after that, Hamonic and his family moved to Winnipeg, where he continued thriving at hockey.
He said it was his getaway from the thoughts of losing his father. He grew up in a religious family and during his time with the Islanders, he wore number 3 as a sign of the Holy Trinity (although Hamonic wore number 36 during his rookie season with the Islanders and later number 24 with the Calgary Flames and number 27 with the Vancouver Canucks).
