History

The Phantoms were announced on April 14, 2012, by the GMHL. In 2014, after a rough season and some ownership woes, the team was supposed to move out of the GMHL and into the rival Canadian International Hockey League.[1] The GMHL ownership stepped in and stopped the move. In April 2014, the ownership of the team was changed by the league and the team became the Bracebridge Blues.[2] After playing five games and forfeiting the sixth game of the 2016–17 season, the Blues were removed from the GMHL schedule.
