Chris Litton of Youngstown and his son Jack, 6, were among the few hardy souls who braved the brutal weather to watch the Youngstown Phantoms take on the Indiana Ice at the Covelli Centre in downtown Youngstown at the local hockey team’s annual School Day Game. The weather caused many schools to cancel classes, and few students were able to make it to the center for the 10:15 a.m. contest Wednesday. The Phantoms have set another School Day Game for March 21, when the home team will skate against Team USA.
