Stevie Johnson’s men were actually pipped 5-4 in the return clash at Planet Ice, but that result did little to quell the celebrations at the end of their final game before moving under the Phantoms’ banner.

Nathan Pollard and Clint Herring both struck twice in the thumping road success. Leon Groom, Conor Pollard, Connor Stokes, Ken Bavin and Deivid Cetvertak also lit the lamp.

Cetvertak, Stokes, James White and James Pentecost scored in the second leg.
