o    Sitting back in the shadows following a career game by another fellow teammate, the Phantoms Tim Vanoverloop was able to quietly reach a milestone that very few Phantom players have been able to amass.  On Sunday, January 15^th, Tim Vanoverloop became just the eighth player in Phantom team history to record his 100^th Point as a member of the nearly 10 year-established West Michigan Phantoms.  The record-making tally would occur late in the opening period at Walker Ice & Fitness, as the Phantoms Keith Moorman would drop the puck back to Vanoverloop on the blue-line, who would pass the puck on to Trent Kik who would bury the puck past the Pioneer goaltender for a 2-0 Phantom lead.  Tim Vanoverloops assist on the Kik goal would mark his 68^th career assist for the Phantoms and combine that with his 32 goals, would complete the benchwork for his 100^th Phantom point.  Tim has been a member of the Phantoms since March 2008 when the team kicked off play in the Bronze league at Cedar Rock Sports Plex.  This nearly four year member as been apart of the Phantom franchise at Rivertown Sports, Cedar Rock Sports Plex and has also spent the past two seasons at Walker Ice & Fitness as a member of the newly established Phantom Ice team.  Tims commitment and strong defensive skill has been a key for the Phantoms for the past four years and has helped the team capture two championships in the Bronze league at Cedar Rock during that span.  Tim is the most dependable defenseman I have played with, said longtime Phantom teammate Trent Kik.  He plays an all around sound game and its great to see him back there when Im on the ice, added Kik.  Tim joins the ranks of Gordie Anderson, Chris Benedict, Tim Czycyk, Trent Kik, Casey Rosenberg, Jason Schemmel and Brad Zehr as the only other members of the Phantoms to record 100 points in their Phantom career.  Despite having played only four years with the Phantoms, his roots with the team go further back.  Phantom netminder Kevin Wootton has been playing behind Tim for nearly six years and has played with Tim on numerous teams throughout the Rivertown Sports and Cedar Rock venues including the very successful Team America.  Tim is the perfect guy to have playing in front of you as his ability to defend the defensive zone by shutting down opposing forwards makes a goaltenders job much easier, said Wootton.  He is a reliable player who I can always count on to be in position to make the play and is a teammate who is able to remain calm and collected both on the ice and in the locker room during any occasion, Wootton said.  Many players on the defensive side of sports tend to get over looked by the scorers and fighters of a team, however, any teams success begins with the defense and Tim Vanoverloop is one of those quite-steady work-horses that a team needs to be successful and it is an honor to have Tim as a member of the Phantoms, Wootton added.   Player stats during the course of the nearly Ten-Year Phantom history have only been kept for games played at Cedar Rock and Walker Ice & Fitness.  Rivertown Sports did/does not keep individual stats for its adult leagues.
