PPL Center to Welcome Back the Phantoms on October 12
July 11, 2024
Allentown, PA – The Lehigh Valley Phantoms have officially unveiled their regular season schedule for the 2024-25 campaign. The 11th season of Phantoms hockey at PPL Center in downtown Allentown includes 36 big home games commencing with Opening Night on October 12 against the Hartford Wolf Pack.
Rivalry showdowns with the Hershey Bears and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins are back and will now bring an added intensity in the aftermath of consecutive dramatic postseason clashes to conclude the 2023-24 season.
Big holiday matchups include the third annual New Year’s Eve game with the return of the World’s Largest Puck Drop when the Charlotte Checkers arrive on Tuesday, December 31. And the upcoming season also includes the addition of three new opponents from the Western Conference with the first-ever appearances of the Grand Rapids Griffins (DET), Milwaukee Admirals (NSH) and Rockford IceHogs (CHI) to PPL Center. That means the Phantoms will be facing 17 different opponents in the 2024-25 season which is the most in Lehigh Valley history.
- Regular Season Home Opener: Saturday, October 12 vs. Hartford Wolf Pack
- First home game with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (Pittsburgh) since Phantoms defeated the Penguins in the playoffs last year: Saturday, October 19
- First Regular Season Home Game against 2024 AHL Calder Cup Champion Hershey Bears (Washington): Saturday, November 26
- Thanksgiving Weekend Hockey: Friday, November 29 vs. Hershey Bears and Saturday, November 30 vs. Laval Rocket (Montreal)

“We are extremely pleased with how this schedule is constructed for the 2024-25 season and we know our fans will be thrilled as well,” Phantoms Executive Vice President of Marketing and Ticketing Jordan Cannon said. “After the amazing playoff run last year, enthusiasm is sky-high and will only increase as October approaches.”
“The announcement of the season schedule is always one of our favorite times of the year,” Phantoms owner Jim Brooks said. “This release jump-starts the anticipation for the upcoming season – and, of course, means our theme and promotional schedule will be coming soon! After such an exciting finish to last season, Phan Nation and our entire community are looking forward to the season opening!”
