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.
This was out first hookey game, while not knowing anything about the sport it was still very fun exciting and very enjoyable. We will be attending more hookey games in the future and learning more about the sport so that we can further understand what is going on .
First hockey game...honestly had a blast!! I would recommend this event to people!
they coulda played more aggressively they could use more coaching they seem to be disorganized I don't think I would recommend anyone to see another game. I don't think I would go even the tickets for for free.
my family has an awesome time. Great price for tickets. got to meet players after the game.
Extremely great event. Kids had a blast! Would highly recommend
Great game,Awesome Venue and very accomdating staff....
Tickets were ready and great hockey. There isn't a bad seat in the place.
Hockey is my sport. Usually go to the Nailers games. This was closer and cheaper really glad I chose to go.
Lots of fun. Great seats on the ice. Just not enough fan interaction. though. It was fan appreciation night, really? Not much to celebrate with us the fans, only half off merchandise.
Phantoms are a step away from NHL at a fraction of the price. Again they beat a good team.
This was my second time to a Phantom hockey game and I will be back. It is the fastest 3 hours ever. Great action, lots of fun for my entire family and affordable. I plan on joining the Kid Club for both of my boys next season.
very exciting and enjoyable experience. live action hockey. great seats for low cost should have better attendance than what was there
The game was great. I have never been to a hockey game before.
I go the tickets for my son as a Christmas present - said it was one of the best presents ever. Seats were great - lots of action - they had a marvelous time. Can't wait to go again - very easy to get to and park.
the Phantoms got their butts kicked but it was fun nonetheless. Great seats, although the first couple rows should have wider seat clearance. I must've sat next to the biggest lady in the crowd and I only had half of a seat as a result. I'd recommend this as a cheap date night, but if you're a drinker you might want to go on dollar beer night. $6 is a little pricey for a beer when you compare the ticket price!
Youngstown Phantoms played a good game against Siuox City last night. Except Youngstown missed a few easy passes and their defense lacked around the net at times. Youngstown would have put a little more pressure on Siuox City goalie they would have won the game. Their passing could have been more accurate. Other than that it was a good game to see.
my children who are 4 and 10 had a blast at the game. we will be going to many more phantoms games in the future. this was an awesome family day for us! we really enjoyed it!
Awesome game to attend, not overly crowded and put on a great match ..
This was my first hockey game it was amazing., what little bit I got to see. We had called the day before to see when Guy Fieri and Joey Fatone were going to be signing autographs. They had told us before and during the game, but not afterwards. I stood in line for 2 1/2 hours waiting to meet them. I missed most of the game. I got to see the last ten minutes of the third period. The game was amazing and I would suggest to anyone to go.
events was awesome although the seats we were sold were directly behind the team bench and we could not see most of the action on the ice. these seats should not be sold as full price as there is limited viewing
