"We are coming off our first sell-out crowd on Saturday night showing that hockey fans in the Mahoning Valley have grown accustomed to all the nuances that the Chevrolet Centre offers for the fans and are confident that the Phantom's players, organization and fans will enjoy the experience they have here. It is especially thrilling to think of the great talent that the USA National Team has and for hockey fans to see several potential future NHL star's here at the Chevrolet Centre."

"On behalf of the Mahoning Valley Phantoms organization and the North American Hockey League, we thank Herb Washington and the Youngstown SteelHounds Hockey Club for sharing the spotlight with us this Saturday at the Chevrolet Centre, and giving us the opportunity to showcase the Phantoms and the NAHL on a larger scale," said Zoldan.
