Sam Olmstead
Born just a stone's throw from the Ohio River, Sam is a 2002 graduate of Beaver Local High School. He graduated from Youngstown College of Massotherapy in 2004 (which closed down a year later) and from the American Broadcasting School in 2012 (again, closed down shortly after). He attended his first Phantoms' game in March 2014. Two years later, he made the leap and became a season ticket holder, starting with the 2016-17 season.
Sam has played guitar since he was 16. After 25 years, you'd think he would be better at it. He can also play 3 chords on a ukulele, and although he hasn't touched a trombone in 20 years, he is fairly confident that he could still play the Beaver Local Fight Song if he had access to one.
Sam resides in Salem, OH with his wife April, and three sons Brennan, Gavin, and Dashiell.
Justin Irwin
Justin is a 1994 graduate of LaBrae, and did a brief stint at a business school in Pittsburgh that he doesn't really remember the name of. Already a lifelong hockey fan, after seeing 2 Phantoms games at the end of the 10-11 seasons and a few more the next season, he went all in as a season ticket holder in 12-13.
His hobbies, outside of supporting the Phantoms, include gaming, anime, and IT. The latter is also his profession, which unfortunately sucks the soul out of him. He's also an avid vodka drinker.
He now lives in Newton Township with his mom, who is also a huge Phantoms fan.
Dan Conley
Dan is a 2005 graduate of Austintown Fitch High School. He is President of The United SteelWorkers of America Local 2332 and is an overhead craneman at Commercial Metal Forming. He used to play soccer growing up (when he was in shape and not a shape) and was a three year letterman in high school. Dan later became the head coach of his alma mater's boys soccer team and coached there for 7 years. Dan is also an avid drummer and people that have been to any of his shows have described his drumming by calling it "Average at best".
Dan and his family have been attending games for many years but recently became season ticket holders during the 2021-2022 season.
Dan still currently resides in Austintown with his wife, Heather, and sons Gavin and Owen.
