ASTON, Pa. - Skating at their home rink, IceWorks, the Delco Phantoms beat out two New Jersey teams and fellow DVHL member the Wilkes-Bare Jr. Penguins for 14U B Atlantic Affiliate Championship. Competition was level in the final game, with the Jr. Penguins and Phantoms needing an overtime period before the Phantoms could raise the banner.

In the first game, the Phantoms managed to snatch an easy victory against the North Jersey Kings, 8-4. This earned them a spot in the championship game against the higher seeded Jr. Penguins.

The Jr. Penguins earned a bye to districts, and the Phantoms managed to snatch the playoff championship. It all came down to the affiliate title, where the teams battled. In the end, it was the Phantoms who managed to snatch the win and take home the affiliate banner.
