The West Michigan Phantoms continue to work to put a quality and top notch product on the rink, as the longest consecutive operating team in West Michigan signs two more players to the team's roster for the upcoming Fall '07 season. On this Halloween Day of October 2007, the Phantoms have announced that Ty Coon and Ryan Hopkins will be added to the team as emergency subs for the season.

Ty Coon, a great player for the Phantoms since the move from Rivertown Sports to Lazerskate, will again be rostered for the Men of Phantom Nation. While Ty decided to drop back down to the Bronze-Leagued Hawks, he will remain an active player for the Phantoms on the team's sub list. The Three Season Veteran has played with heart and passion for the Phantoms since joining the team during the team's inaugural Lazerskate season back in late 2006.

Ryan Hopkins was also be added to the team's sub list this season. The multi-season veteran for the Bronze-Leagued defending champion Junkyard Dawgs will embark on not only his first season with the Phantoms but his first in the Silver Division. Ryan, will join long-time teammate Kraig Brown for a handfull of games for the Phantoms. While again it is just a sub role, Ryan scored 3 goals and added five assists for the Junkyard Dawgs during the team's first 12 games last season. While not known for being a goal scorer, Ryan will bring an experienced defensemen to the Phantoms lineup and one that is a very good and fast skater.

The Phantoms have traditionally been a team that tries to display a 10-skater roster for every game. By having Ty and Ryan on the team's sub-list, it will allow the Phantoms to have a player at the rink that is already scheduled to be there. Last season, the Phantoms sub-list was very unreliable, yet the additions of Ty and Ryan are believed to solve last season's problems. On behalf of the rest of the Phantoms, we would like to welcome you guys to the team.
