February 11, 2016
Lehigh Valley, PA – The Philadelphia Flyers, parent club of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, have returned on loan goaltender Anthony Stolarz to Lehigh Valley. Meanwhile, goaltender Martin Ouellette has been returned on loan to the Reading Royals of the ECHL.
A 22-year-old netminder from Edison, New Jersey, Stolarz is in the midst of his second professional season and has compiled a 15-10-3 overall record in 29 games with the Phantoms this season to go along with a 2.45 goals-against average and .915 save percentage. One of Lehigh Valley’s two representatives at the 2016 AHL All-Star Classic, Stolarz was recalled by the Flyers on February 2 and served as Steve Mason’s back up in each of Philadelphia’s last five games.
A 24-year-old goaltender from Saint-Hippolyte, Quebec, Ouellette is in his second professional campaign and has posted a 10-8-2 overall record in 21 appearances with the Royals to go along with a 2.10 goals-against average and .915 save percentage this season.

In the midst of their 20th season of operation, the Phantoms are coming off their Inaugural Season as the Lehigh Valley Phantoms playing at the brand-new PPL Center. Established in 1996, the Phantoms spent their first 13 seasons at the Spectrum in Philadelphia before re-locating to Glens Falls, New York in 2009 where the team spent the next five seasons as the Adirondack Phantoms. A new era of Phantoms hockey began in the fall of 2014 when the Lehigh Valley Phantoms began play at the state-of-the-art PPL Center. Through 19 incredibly successful campaigns, the Phantoms have captured two Calder Cup Championships (1998, 2005), two Conference Championships (1998, 2005), two Regular Season Titles (1996-97, 1997-98) and four Division Championships (1996-97, 1997-98, 1998-99, 2003-04).
