About the Youngstown Phantoms at Covelli Centre

The Youngstown Phantoms are a member of the United States Hockey League (USHL), the premier junior ice hockey league in the country. The Ohio-based team competes in the Eastern Conference, which they won during the 2014-15 season, and they were the league runner-up during the 2017-2018 season. In 2016, the Phantoms promoted assistant coach Brad Patterson to head coach. The team plays their action-packed home games at the Covelli Centre, a venue located in Youngstown with a seating capacity of 5,700 for hockey. The arena opened in 2005 and books a wide variety of music, sports and family-oriented events.

Youngstown Phantoms History

The Youngstown Phantoms franchise dates back to 2003, when the team was part of the North Division of the North American Hockey League. Initially, the team played home games in the Youngstown suburb of Boardman, at the Boardman Ice Zone. In 2005, the team changed its name to the Mahoning Valley Phantoms, the moniker it used through 2009. That same year, as the team moved to the USHL and started playing home games at the Covelli Centre, the franchise changed its name back to the Youngstown Phantoms. Over the years, the team has made playoff appearances in both the North American Hockey League and United States Hockey League, where they advanced to later rounds multiple times.

The franchise has been home to dozens of athletes drafted by NHL teams, including defenseman Scott Mayfield, who was chosen in the 2011 draft by the New York Islanders and still plays for the team, as well as forwards Nathan Walker and Maxim Letunov, and goalie Matthew Mahalak. Brandon Saad, a forward for the Colorado Avalanche who was part of the Chicago Blackhawks' Stanley Cup-winning team in 2013, also played for the Phantoms.

    My family and I went to the jersey night game and had a blast! The game was fast and fun to watch. We always enjoy watching them play.

    Great game!

    by lmdm on 1/4/17Covelli Centre - Youngstown

    The game itself was great! Being on the "glass" fabulous and date night priceless. Listening to the Phantoms coach using inappropriate and foul language throughout the line switches was not so impressive. We had a group of small children around us with the f bomb flying constantly, something they should not be able to hear, especially by a man who should be inspiring. Don't get me wrong, hockey is a tough sport, however the language was unnecessary.

    Worst seats in the house

    by GJSCAR on 3/30/16Covelli Centre - Youngstown

    I paid top dollar at the box office for what I was told were to be the "best seats in the house", and they were far from that. Secection 215, Row A, seats 1&2, directly next to the Phantoms bench. They stacked all the players sticks against the glass wall between our seats and the players, we could not see any of the players on the bench or any of the hockey game being played at the other end.

    Phantoms vs Buccaneers

    by phantomfan16 on 12/8/15Covelli Centre - Youngstown

    Great Game. Phantoms scored at the final 1.5 second and won the game. The Covelli Centre is a great venue for games and concerts. Highly recommend a visit. Seats to the Phantoms games are cheap but the event is like being at an actual hockey game.

    Phantoms games are so entertaining even for non hockey fans. I would be at every game if possible. They are an amazing team, an amazing atmosphere, and honestly just so much fun and entertainment. I urge everyone to go to at least one game.

    Phantoms vs Sioux Falls Stampede

    Game was great but promo's on ice in between periods are always the same. Hot dog toss, etc. how about letting little kids play in between periods or blind folded races around the rink or tricycle races from goal line to goal line. Something different. Something fun.

    Date Night with my hockey loving wife

    by JimA1234 on 2/18/15Covelli Centre - Youngstown

    If you have a spouse who loves hockey and want a fun date night, this is for you. We went to a few professional games and at $150+ per ticket plus parking and concessions, I was out over $400 by the end of it. I had seats behind the goalie and saw every bone-jarring hit and scoring opportunity for 2/3 of the game. The Phantoms are actually a pretty good team and I'd recommend going. For the price of a dinner at Red Lobster, I got 2 tickets, parking, and we both had beer and nachos for a total cost of $60. It's was a fun and long overdue night out for both of us.

    This was my first Phantoms game! I've gone here for concerts and other events, so I was familiar with the venue. It was a great experience! Very pleased and will definitely go to more games here!

    Fantastic venue for the best sport!

    by Dockingbay94 on 2/3/15Covelli Centre - Youngstown

    There is nothing like being able to watch hockey, and to see up and coming players so close to home. I hope this ends up making Youngstown a hockey town.

    Great Game, Great Venue

    by Patrick90569 on 12/22/14Covelli Centre - Youngstown

    I had a great time at the Covelli Centre on Pittsburgh Penguin night! The game contained a lot of scoring and heavy checks, very exciting. The Phantom organization also brought in the Stanley Cup, it was great to get my picture taken with it.
