The Jr. Phantoms met all the team's expectations in the team's first season at Lazerskate. Despite finishing the 14 game season with an overall record of 7-5-2 and not qualifying for the championship round series, the Phantoms were able to post an above .500 record during the campaign. For many on the team, this was their first season of hockey at Lazerskate. With many shifting northward from their previous home-rink of Rivertown Sports in Grandville, this season was a learning experience that over half of the team had to overcome. The team was also comprised of many players who had never played together with one another before. With former Phantom, Viper and Team America players grouped into this Jr. Phantom team, there was a lot of new faces and new hurdles this team had to overcome. However, in talking with many on the team, this season will be classed as a 'success.' "It's been my goal to bring several of my friends into the Bronze league at Lazerskate for two years," said Phantom goaltender Kevin Wootton. "This season we were able to do that and judging by my reaction, this should be a team that will continue to grow and thrive in the Bronze league," Wootton said. The Jr. Phantoms will be returning to the Bronze league during the upcoming season. However, the word 'Jr.' will be removed from the team name. "Everyone wants to win a championship when it comes to hockey, however having fun playing a sport in which we all enjoy is of greater value," said Wootton.
