This season things will be a bit different for Robert Phelps. He was a very big contributor for the Steelhawks last season but he primarily played a 3rd line role plus special teams. The team management has pressured the coach into playing Phelps more than an average of 20 minutes a game to get more out of him. While Phelps prefers to be a bit of a role player and to focus on getting the team out of penalty jams and help produce on the powerplay, he is generally willing to do whatever is needed of him. I suspect Phelps will be playing with Dick Skillstedt and Angelo Odjick, or at least one of those two. Phelps doesn't really have goals for the season on a personal level. He just wants a cup, or several cups... Hopefully Hamilton's very strong defensive core can give them a solid shot at a cup.
