Well the Flint Phantoms have proven to one and all that they belong in division 1 next year. After winning Howe division 3 they were moved up to division 1 for the playoffs. Seven teams were in the division with four moving to round two. After winning 1 game and tying 3 games the Phantoms ended up third in the division and move on to round two within the next few weeks. During this time they were also playing for a district title the past two weekends, having to play three of four teams in district 5. After winning 2 games and tying 1, the semi finals were yesterday and Phantoms ended up beating Midland 8-1. The Championship game was played today against arch rival Flint Icelanders, who have won the division title the past four years. The game was close with the Icelanders scoring on Devin on a breakaway that kept the game 1-0 through two periods. In the third period the Phantoms were able to tie it up with three minutes left in the game, which sent it into overtime. Five minutes into the overtime the Phantoms scored and won the district 5 title. They now move on to the State tournament. (Devin was in net for all of the games in both LC and districts, as they had to pull the backup goalie in two of the games.) It has been an amazing season for this team, their overall record is 36-8-8. Devins GAA is 2.03 with a 93.5 save Percentage, which is great. We will see how we fare at States and LC Playoffs; however, if we do not make it any farther, it has been a successful season in my opinion.
