Hamilton has had many great players. To list them all would take me all day. Even listing those in the hall would take me a while… but for me, the Hamilton Steelhawks have always been blessed with one thing. Consistency. That level of play is rare in sports leagues and for them to keep it up as long as they have is incredible… and the player that embodies that is the best in the modern era is Tig Murphy.

The man that could honestly lay a claim to the title of best defender of his generation, there was not a game where Tig did not play up to his potential. A man who was a key fixture in every Hamilton cup run and the man who would inspire so many future d men after him that it's not funny, Tig became the man they all wanted to emulate.

If Jeff Dar and Mike Izzy are the players that Wingers long to be, Tig Murphy is the player that all D men are to be judged by. He is the standard bearer.

Thank you for everything Tig
