SCHEMMEL'S LONE TALLY NOT ENOUGH AS PHANTOMS FALL
The Phantom offense experienced a power shortage on Sunday evening, as the yellow
shirts scored just a single tally in a 2-1 defeat by Team Chowder.  In a very tightly played
defensive contest under the lights of the Cedar Rock Sports Plex in Cedar Springs,
Michigan, the Phantom's would receive just a single goal by Jason Schemmel as the team
dropped only its first game in the past six games overall.  The victory by Team Chowder
marks the fourth straight win by the now defunct Rivertown Sport's Biohazard franchise
dating back to last season.  For the Phantoms, the team has scored just two combined
goals against Team Chowder during the last two calls to duty.  On Sunday, the Phantoms
would manage to allow Team Chowder to jump into a 1-0 lead in the final third of the
opening period, as a shot from the slot would beat Phantom netminder Kevin Wootton stick
side for a 1-0 Chowder lead.  The yellow shirts would capture the equalizer with under a
minute later, as Jason Schemmel would net his eight goal of the campaign to lift the
Phantoms into a 1-1 tie into the first intermission.  That deadlock would remain intact until
the final minutes of regulation, when Team Chowder would manage to dig the puck out of
the left Phantom corner and dish a sweet-lead opening-feed to a unguarded forward
stationed near the front of the Phantom cage.  Despite a leaping attempt to detour the
puck from the danger district, the Team Chowder forward would slip the puck into the back
of the goal with just 3:14 remaining in regulation.  Despite the Phantoms cashing in their
single time out with 2:16 remaining the game and lifting the netminder for the extra attacker
with roughly a minute remaining, the Phantoms would not be able to muster enough control
and pressure during the final minutes to achieve the equalizer.  The 2-1 victory by Team
Chowder capitalizes the soup kids the season-series against the Phantoms 2 games to 0
and pushes them two points ahead of the Phantoms for sole control of second place.  
During the defensive showdown in Cedar, the Phantoms did manage to out shoot Team
Chowder 26-19.  Both teams were inflicted on three minor penalties for six minutes apiece.  
The Phantoms skated without the services of Darren Skuse and Matt Mead.  Good Ole
Boy defensemen and former Phantom Nate Tyler was again summoned to action on
Sunday.  The Phantoms will return to close out the regular season on Sunday, March 21st
when the team takes on the Hawks at 6:00pm.

CAPTAIN KIK HAS 99 DOWN...1 TO GO!
With 99 goals scored in a Phantom uniform at Cedar Rock,
Phantom captain Trent Kik is just one goal shy of netting
Phantom-Cedar Rock career goal 100.  Kik, who entered the
season six away from the mark, has scored five goals in eight
games this season and despite not lighting the lamp as frequent
as he has in the past, Trent is still on pace to reach that 100 goal
plateau this season.  No Phantom player has ever reached that
100 goal level since the team shifted play to Cedar Rock in 2006.
(Phantom stats have only been kept at Cedar Rock, since the
team's previous home Rivertown Sports did not keep stats).  Trent has been a member of
the Phantoms since 2006 and has played 12 seasons with the yellow shirts.

ROSTER BIO'S NOW AVAILABLE
While the information was collected over a month ago, Phantom roster
bio's have been added to the roster page of the website.  Rather than
having just a photo, basic information has been added about each player
to shed some light on the players that make Phantom hockey possible.
