RPHL Hall of Fame

The RPHL Hall of Fame (HoF) is the league's hall of fame, consisting of a section for Players and a section for Staff (the term "Staff" is a broad definition, as it may include Board of Directors, Referees, Developers, Media Personnel, etc.). The HoF is RPHL's most exclusive and elite club, only reserved for those individuals that are truly legendary in their respective field(s) and truly deserving for being put on the pedestal of history.

As of current, there are 15 players in the RPHL Player Hall of Fame and 6 staff members in the RPHL Staff Hall of Fame, for a total of 20 unique individuals in the RPHL Hall of Fame overall. The only person in both the Player and Staff Hall of Fame is Lambiino.

The most recent Player induction was of the 2022 class, which happened on 6/5/2022. The most recent Staff induction was of the 2022 class, which happened on 6/10/2022.

History
The idea of a RPHL Hall of Fame to represent the league's most talented players and most beneficial staff was an idea introduced in the very beginnings of the league. There was never an official "founding" date for the RPHL Hall of Fame, but it could be said that the Hall was founded on 9/1/2019, when the first players (Lambiino) and staff (HillbillyWilly147 and SharkTheScripter) were inducted.

On this date, the requirements were first posted for entry to the Hall of Fame as well, and they have stood as the same unchanged requirements through present day. Players have to wait a minimum of one full season from retiring to get reviewed by Zombie to see if they're eligible to be in the RPHL Player Hall of Fame (for the class of 2022, this rule was obviously neglected, but only because Season 9 is thought to be RPHL's potential last ever season). Players are not allowed to ask if they can be in it or will be in it or their chances of making it, etc. However, this rule was very loosely actually followed, and was more or less to keep the crowds down. Finally, a player must've played a minimum of 2 RPHL seasons in which they were at least somewhat active (2 is the minimum, chances are still quite low at this point). Lambiino was the only player ever to be inducted into the RPHL Player Hall of Fame from playing the least required seasons possible, as he only played in Season 3 and Season 4. For the Staff Hall of Fame, the rules are the same as the Player Hall of Fame for entry, except for one exception. A staff must'ved staffed a minimum of 1 RPHL season to be considered for entry to the RPHL Staff Hall of Fame. Every Staff member, in the Staff Hall of Fame, however, has participated in their duties in more than just 1 singular RPHL season.

Both DreadfulSleep and Arciinin were inducted into the RPHL Player Hall of Fame at an early point in the league's history after they retired. However, they were both removed from it after they decided to un-retire to continue their careers (the only 2 players to ever be removed from the HoF). DreadfulSleep was later re-inducted into the RPHL Hall of Fame on 6/5/2022 for the class of 2022 (the only player to ever be inducted into the same section HoF twice). Arciinin was not re-inducted, although he did appear on the class of 2022 ballot. This makes him the only player to be removed from the HoF and not be re-inducted later. This was a prime example of the RPHL holding tight to its strict Hall of Fame rules.

Lambiino was allowed to play in the RPHL 2020 World Cup of Hockey Tournament even though he was in the RPHL Player Hall of Fame by then without removal, since the World Cup was a tournament, not an actual official RPHL season. SharkTheScripter became a League Staff in Season 9, well after he was inducted into the RPHL Staff Hall of Fame, but the case for Staff vs Player is obviously different in its entirety, and was thus allowed.

RPHL Staff Hall of Fame Members
(Listed by order of induction; alphabetical)


 * HillbillyWilly147 "Shadow"

Induction Date: 9/1/2019

Shadow is still considered as the best RPHL builder of all-time. Shadow joined the league in S2, and completely revolutionized the league. We went from wedge arenas to nicely built, modern ro-hockey venues. Shadow created the classic RPHL Rec Center, and made several arenas and even league trophies in his time here. Shadow also created the standard RPHL rink that we still use for structure today, as well as the legendary S4 Winter Classic Stadium that'll always be remembered as possibly the best venue the RPHL has ever seen. Shadow taught and trained meatballcaleb, who still builds in the present. Shadow will always be remembered as a kind, thoughtful, and helpful individual who created some amazing things for the RPHL, and a role model that the other devs could look up to. HillbillyWilly147 retired from RPHL in S4 and quit roblox around the same time as he moved on to college. Thank you Shadow!


 * SharkTheScripter "Shark"

Induction Date: 9/1/2019

At the very earliest stages of the RPHL, Shark was basically the Co-Founder. He really worked extremely hard with Zombie to get the league up off it's feet. He was side by side in day-to-day operations, built the very first arenas, and worked hard to bring in new players to the league and expand the then-current community. Without someone as supporting and fundamental as Shark, RPHL would have most likely died within the first few weeks of operation. Shark was also the owner of the S1 Pittsburgh Penguins, leading them to both the King's Cup and Premium Cup! Shark later retired from RPHL after S2 and quit Roblox recently around that time as well. However, since being inducted, Shark has returned and made the possibly biggest staff contributions as of late. Shark built and scripted the whole RPHL automated system, completely changing the game as we know it for the better. Shark always worked for the enjoyment of the people, not for monetary reasons. He will always be remembered as such a helpful and friendly individual who definitely deserves this spot in the RPHL Staff HoF!

RPHL Staff Hall of Fame Inductees for the Class of 2022
On 6/6/2022, league founder ThatGuyNamedZombie announced that the RPHL would be initiating a Staff Hall of Fame induction for the class of 2022, which would take place on 6/10/2022. Unlike the Player Hall of Fame induction for the class of 2022, there was not a ballot released with official candidates, simply because of the low number of potential inductees. Identified as the those who served as the ultimate building blocks of league growth, prosperity, and longevity, the 4 RPHL Staff Hall of Fame inductees for the class of 2022 were announced and inducted on June 10th, 2022, as said.

Hall of Fame Induction: 9/1/2019
On the first day of September of 2019, one individual was introduced to the RPHL Player Hall of Fame, Lambiino. At the same time, both HillbillyWilly147 and SharkTheScripter were introduced to the RPHL Staff Hall of Fame.

Hall of Fame Induction: 8/11/2020
On August 11, 2020, Sloberon was introduced to the RPHL Player Hall of Fame, joining the already-inducted Lambiino.

Sloberon began his career in S4 with the Columbus Comets. He was almost immediately noticed because of his pure talent on the ice, especially in his scoring abilities. Sloberon quite literally carried this team, scoring almost all of their goals. In the middle of S4, he was traded to the Springfield Thunderbirds, where he would finish out his rookie season. Sloberon would go down with this team competing against the prime of widely considered RPHL-goat Peyton, and other notables, including MadSvardo. Springfield finished second in league history with points, behind their rivals on the Corpus Christi Blue Angels. Unfortunately, Sloberon did not ever win the cup. In this season, his team went to the Cup Finals after beating his former team, Columbus, in 6 games. In the Finals, even though it was a solid effort, Sloberon lost in 5 games.

At the end of S4, Sloberon picked up numerous trophies and awards, despite not winning the Premium Cup.

He won the Rookie of the Season Award, out-dueling YoshiSvug, his teammate ImNotBigJ, and numerous others. He won the Goal Scorer of the Season Prize, and he even set the then-current league record and currently third place league record of "Most Goals In a Season", with 31. He won the Perfect Player Award with 32 points, which is also the former league record for "Most Points In a Season". He also picked up the "Most Dynamic Teammate Duo of the Season Award", with his linemate ImNotBigJ.

Sloberon continued his career into S5, on the Palau Fighting Jellyfish, with his friend and former linemate ImNotBigJ as the owner. The team performed very well, with Sloberon helping them win the Eastern Conference Champions Trophy, and the King's Cup, with 28 points.

The team was able to do many great things, and Sloberon, again, accomplished a lot of personal milestones. On 6/5/2019 against the Ottawa Titans, Sloberon broke a record that lasted since early 2018. He scored 10 goals that game, setting the current record of "Most Goals Scored In a Game".

Palau did many great things, but sadly for them, they were not able to advance past the first round of the playoffs, they lost to the Long Island Red Wolves, blowing a 3-1 series lead.

At the end of Season 5, Sloberon won his second in a row Goal Scorer of the Season Prize, scoring 22 goals that season. That put him second on the "Most Goals In a Season" list at the time.

He also won his second in a row Most Dynamic Teammate Duo of the Season Award, and, yet again, it was with ImNotBigJ. So many great things; without a Cup sadly.

Sloberon's last season would be Season 6. This time he wanted to own a team, which lead to the start of the Winnipeg Polars! The team was very solid, just like Sloberon's lasttwo teams. With Sloberon as the Owner, the team won the Western Conference Champions Trophy, and the King's Cup with 28 points!

Heading into the playoffs, they were able to make it past round 1, and back into the Premium Cup Finals. This was Sloberon's second chance in the finals. And then... the Polars got reversed swept, with EternaIKillerX's Long Island Red Wolves crushing Sloberon's dreams again. However, the series was close throughout all the games, with a lot of sudden deaths and the like.

Sloberon won the Team Owner of the Season Award in S6, and won his THIRD Most Dyanmic Teammate Duo Award with Amneziio. Talk about chemistry!

Sloberon's style of play transformed how the RPHL was played. He will always be remembered as one of the most influential players in league history.
