PHANTOMS PREPARE FOR UNPRECEDENTED 62ND SEASON

Having previously played in 28 games in 21 different arenas, the West Michigan Phantoms are gearing up for another exciting season of Black vs. Yellow games during the 2026-2027 season. The Black vs. Yellow Games started back in 2016, as a way to experience skating at rinks other than our normal men's league rinks. The Black vs. Yellow games are open to everyone, current teammates or non-teammates. Click HERE to learn more about our Black vs. Yellow Games and to sign-up once sign-ups are open for each event. For the 2026-2027 season, FOUR venues have been announced to host Black vs. Yellow games, USG Arena-at the Chicago Ice Center, Huntington Center, Trinity Health Arena and the BMO Center. For the Phantoms, the USG Arena in Chicago will be the lone new kid on the block this season, as despite playing in the complex in 2023, major construction has taken place over the past year to add two more ice surfaces at the complex to prepare for the new home of the USHL's Chicago Steel which takes place this season. The Phantoms will also return to the home of Toledo Walleye (December 5), Muskegon Lumberjacks (February 27) and Rockford IceHogs (March 13) for skates this season, all three venues have been large draws for the team in the past and each have been requested by several players for a return visit. We encourage everyone (adults) to sign-up for these fun skates and spend the day with our hockey group. So many new friends and positive experiences have been developed during these Black vs. Yellow games and we hope that you return to skate with us or give us a try this season. Sign-Ups for Chicago, Toledo, Muskegon and Rockford are NOW OPEN! CLICK HERE to learn more information about our Black vs. Yellow games or to Sign-Up. Limited spots remain for all four venues.
