PHANTOMS BEGIN ROSTER FOR SUMMER AND FALL 2026

The Phantoms and our Network teams are starting our roster work for all of 2026 a little bit early this year, as the first-part of 2026 will be packed full with events and trips. All players of the Phantoms and Zombies are asked to determine their plans for the Summer 2026 season, as well as the Fall/Winter 2026 season. It is expected that player openings for both teams will be open and the teams are asking anyone interested in joining to reach out out. The Phantoms (advanced league) are expected to remain on Sunday nights at Walker Ice & Fitness Centre. The Zombies are expected to shift to the normal Wednesday nights at Walker Ice & Fitness Centre. Our Hockey Network is also in discussions to bring back a third team for the Fall/Winter 2026 season. It is important that if you are a current Phantom or Zombie, that you reach out Kevin Wootton or Mike Bowman with your plans. Work has begun and will be ramped up in the coming weeks to secure potential names for the Summer season. If you are interested in joining either team, please provide your information on the following link by clicking HERE. In addition to the Summer 2026 roster work, the Phantoms are also working on the fall/winter 2026-2027 season.

PHANTOMS EXPECTED TO HIT 1000-GAME MARK IN MID-FEBRUARY

The Phantoms continue to skate and stride towards 1000 league games played. The upcoming milestone is expected to be reached in February 2026 and the team is planning a whole season of events, parties and of course social media content around this big achievement. Very few recreational teams are able to withstand the test of time as well as the Phantoms have done since 2002. From opening play at Rivertown

Sports in the fall of 2002, to pushing slightly north to Cedar Springs in 2006 at Cedar Rock Sports Plex and then shifting into ice hockey in 2012 at Walker Ice & Fitness, the Phantoms remain as one of Michigan's longest running recreational hockey teams. We are proud of our history, proud of our team and we are ready to celly 1000 league games played very soon. Stay tuned with this website and our social media as push closer to the 'Quest for 1000'.
