July is winding down, and the 2021-22 USHL season is fast approaching. As of this writing, there are 58 days until the Phantoms’ first regular season game against the Lincoln Stars at the Fall Classic in Cranberry, PA. The news came on June 1st that the USHL schedule had been released, about 1½ to 2 months earlier than it typically is released in a non-Covid year. We have done a couple of D&C Podcast episodes since then but did not cover the schedule. Why? Quite simply, we forgot. Again, it was a much earlier release than we are used to. <

So, in this edition of By The Numbers, I will break down the Phantoms’ 2021-22 campaign. There are two items I want to point out that will come up during this article. First, the Phantoms will play two games in Cranberry, PA as part of the Fall Classic (Sept. 23 & 24), one against Lincoln where they are designated the ‘Away’ team, and one against Waterloo where they are designated the ‘Home’ team. Second, on Dec. 3 & 4 the Phantoms will take part in the Inaugural American Cup in Rochester, NY. This will be two games against the Green Bay Gamblers, with the teams swapping ‘Home’ and ‘Away’ designations. 

So, to kick this off, I will first provide the link where you can view the complete Phantoms schedule for the upcoming season:

Now for the fun stuff. This first chart breaks down the season schedule by team.

With the usual tryout camps, exhibition games, and other preseason activities being closed to the general public or otherwise inaccessible to the majority of the fans, we have compiled a list of all the players we know to be in training camp to start the 2020-2021 season. The list was compiled from line charts, Tweets, and secondhand accounts. This list is in no way meant to be a final roster and may be incomplete even at this time. This list will eventually be cut to a 25 player roster to start the season in  November. We wish all the players the best of luck as they compete for a spot on the final roster.
