I think everyone would agree that Robert Phelps is the greatest player in Hamilton history, as well as one of the top players in SHL history as a whole. He might not have won a ton of individual awards but his longevity and consistency are what's impressive about his career. I was lucky enough to be Phelps's winger in my rookie season when Phelps was already considered a veteran player, 8 seasons later I'm pretty close to starting regression myself but Phelps is still arguably as good as he was at his peak. Phelps is on pace to hit 1000 points next season, a feat accomplished only by 2 other players in history, and if he decides to keep going, with some luck, I think he could break the record for most career points. Phelps has been the Hamilton's captain for as long as I can remember and he spent his entire career with Hamilton, he was one of the rare first overall picks who actually lived up to the hype, and there's no doubt he's the Hamilton GOAT. It's going to be a very sad day for all of us when he decides to retire.
