Just as the Bronze team's older franchise brothers did three hour prior, the West Michigan Phantom Bronze team etched another successful regular season into the historic record books on Sunday, as the Phantoms earned a very hard fought 6-4 victory over the Hawks.  The victory by the Bronze team on Sunday will go down as the 18th season in which a Phantom team has posted a winning record during the regular season.  To date, 27 Phantom teams have been displayed in the team's 23 season history and as mentioned 18 of those 27 teams have finished the regular season with a record above the .500 level.  On Sunday, the Phantom Bronze team concluded the team's regular season and in doing so have recorded a 6-4 regular season record, which marks the first time in the young Phantom Bronze team  history that a Phantom Bronze team has posted an above .500 regular season record.  The Phantom and Hawk contest on Sunday was a game filled with lots of emotion and plenty of end to end action.  The Phantoms would manage to crack the score page first, as Tim Vanoverloop would set up Jason Schemmel just shy of the mid-mark of the opening period to give the Phantoms a 1-0 lead.  The Hawks  would answer back 4:01 later as the defending Bronze champions would even the contest at 1-1.  The Phantoms would respond minutes later as Brett Smith would restore the Phantom lead at 2-1, a lead that would hold into the first intermission.  In the second period, the Phantoms would increase their lead to two goals, as Chad Manning would set up Jason Schemmel for his second goal of the night 4:28 into the period.  The Hawks would narrow the game to a single goal with a strike with 8:28 remaining in the second period.  The Phantom's Jason Schemmel would complete his K2 Hat-Trick roughly four minutes after the Hawk goal to again increase the Phantom lead to 4-2 (assisted by Justin Calkins).  The Phantom energy and momentum would instantly appear to be diminished at the 13:13 mark of the middle stanza as Phantom defenseman Chuck McCloud would be ticketed with a five-minute high sticking major, a two minute minor for roughing and a two minute minor for unsportsmanlike conduct.  After a very lengthy discussion amongst the officiating staff, a 9:00 power play would be put on the board for the Hawks.  The Hawk's power play would see a full 4-2 advantage for five-full minutes (serving the high-stick major), followed by a 4:00 power play advantage (2:00 each for the rough and unsportsmanlike).  The Hawks would take 1:17 to net their first power-play goal (scored on the 4-2 advantage) with 1:30 remaining in the second period to climb back into the game trailing 3-4.  As the power play would rollover into the third period, the Phantom defense and goaltender would stand rock-solid for the balance of the 5:00 4-2 advantage.  As the minors began to tick off the clock, the Hawks would net their second power-play goal (scored on a 4-3 advantage) to tie the game at 4-4.  However, despite the Hawks scoring two goals on this very extended power play, the Phantom defense and netminder would continue to display a gallant effort on the short-hand-man-band.  The Phantoms would eventually come back to full strength and Tim Vanoverloop would connect on a Tim Czycyk pass to give the Phantoms a 5-4 lead.  Exactly one minute later, Tim Czycyk would capture his first goal of the night to restore the Phantom two-goal grip at 6-4. Ironically that goal would be scored by the Phantom power play unit.  The Phantom's Tim Czycyk would continue to tally points, as the offensive star would net his second of the night with 7:16 remaining in the game to increase the Phantom lead to the team's largest of the night at three goals.  The Phantoms would hold the fort and earn a great 7-4 victory against the Hawks.  On the game, the Phantoms were out shot by the Hawks 24-23.  On the Nauty's Penalty Minute Board, the Phantoms were ticketed with two minors and a major for nine minutes, while the Hawks completed the Sunday Night Show with three minors for six minutes.  The Phantoms played without the services of Darren Skuse who missed his second straight game due to family reasons.  On a side note, the team's leading scorer Jason Schemmel arrived at the game without his skates.  As a result, the offensemen was forced to wear a pair of K2 roller blade skates that he received from his Phantom netminder.  Despite the substituted version, he still managed to complete the game with a hat-trick.  I guess this goes to say that despite the 6-year abuse that Woot has received for his choice of skates, they still work wonders.
