YOUNGSTOWN, OH – The Youngstown Phantoms have announced the acquisition of forward Johnny Conlin, a 2025 Phase II 4th round draft pick, and future considerations from the Des Moines Buccaneers in exchange for forward Michael Burchill. 

 

Conlin, a 2005-left shot forward from Shoreview, Minnesota, comes to the Phantoms after playing in 31 games for the Buccaneers this season, chipping in 5 assists. Conlin played for Mounds View High School in the 2023-2024 season where he scored 31 goals and 25 assists for 56 points. 

 

"We would like to thank Michael Burchill for his commitment to the Phantoms.  He is a heart and soul person and player and our organization is better because of his contributions here,” said Phantoms Co-GM Jason Deskins. “We are excited to bring Johnny to Youngstown, as he is a player that brings added depth and a history of scoring to the program.  We are hoping he can regain that scoring touch in a new situation with us.”
