END OF SEASON
Well the Flint Phantoms did not win States but they made a great showing. Winning two of their three games and making it into the semi-finals along with the top three teams in the state. They lost in the semi's to the team that ended up winning the State Championship, (the same team that beat them in LC Playoffs), not too shabby for a team that everyone thought belonged in division 3. Now its on to the spring season and Devin is going to AAA tryouts this week. He will hopefully make a team and double roster with the Flint Phantoms. It has already been decided that he will stay with the Flint Phantoms this next fall in order to make a run for Nationals next year. He is scheduled to try out for Selects at the end of this month, only the best three goalies in the state will move on so the competition is going to be tough. If he makes it he goes to a Selects camp in the Soo sometime in June and they will again compete for a national camp in NY during the summer. The purpose is to put an elite team together made up of the best players/goalies in MI. Its great exposure for him no matter how far he ends up going. The Philadelphia AAA tournament is in July and then it will be time to get ready for fall again...............its a year round endeavor.
