The DALROD sponsored Peterborough Phantoms are a British ice hockey team that play at the Planet Ice Peterborough Arena, in Bretton, Peterborough.
The Peterborough Phantoms ice hockey club was founded in 2002. They replaced the former city based team, the Peterborough Pirates, and play in the same Ice Arena. The team currently competes in the semi-professional English Premier Ice Hockey League (EPIHL) which is the second tier in British ice hockey (below the fully professional Elite Ice Hockey League.
The team won the English Premier League and Cup Double in its first season (2002–03) and retained the Cup the following year. After a gap of four years further silverware arrived with the winning of the 2007–08 Knock-out Cup. This heralded the very successful 2008–09 campaign in which the Phantoms, coached by Canadian Colin Patterson, won the 'Treble' of English Premier League, English Premier Cup and (for the first time in their history) the Play-offs.
