Where we are Week of Mar. 11 – Mar. 17 GP W L Standing in Division 3 1 2 6th Another Wednesday game against Wilkes-Barre/Scranton kicked off the week, two weeks ago the Phantoms came into their arena and controlled play, but the same couldn’t be said of the rematch. The Phantoms came out a…
Where we are Week of Mar. 4 – Mar. 10 GP W L Standing in Division 3 2 1 5th I mentioned in our preview last week just how important it was for the Phantoms to extract points out of this week, particularly in their Wednesday game in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, and it looks like they were…
The Phantoms 2018-19 season isn’t quite over yet. They will close out it over three more games, including the finale this Saturday at home against Hartford.

It’s that time of year again, folks! The Phantoms’ season is over and the dust has started to settle, which means it’s time to dig into the performances and give out some grades. Because who doesn’t love grades, right? We’re going to be breaking these up by position, and we’re also limiting our grade distribution…
Where we are Week of Apr. 10 – Apr. 14 GP W L Standing in Division 2 2 0 5th The Phantoms started their final weekend of the season against who else but Providence, the team looking to clinch that last playoff spot in the Atlantic. They may have ultimately done just that, but the…
Where we are Week of Apr. 4 – Apr. 9 GP W L Standing in Division 3 3 0 5th We’ve got a lighter group than we did last week, with only three games to talk about instead of five. The Phantoms kicked off this stretch with their last of their approximately four thousand meetings…
