Ryan Belonger has rebounded nicely from the bad break that began his Youngstown Phantoms career.
Last Saturday in Indianapolis, Belonger scored two goals as the Phantoms wiped out a 2-0 deficit against the Indiana Ice to post a 6-3 victory and snap an eight-game losing streak.
With six goals, Belonger leads the Phantoms. He’s second in scoring with 11 points, trailing Jiri Sekac’s 12. At plus 5, he leads in that category and is one of only five Phantoms (5-8-1, 11 points) with positive marks.
Belonger has come a long way since he wasn’t sure he’d make the team after he fell to the ice and broke his left arm during a tryout camp scrimmage.
