Peterborough Phantoms have signed one of the hottest young prospects in the country
Peterborough Phantoms have signed teenage forward Theo Malone on a two-way deal with Elite League side Manchester Storm.
The 17-year-old came through the junior system in Manchester and has represented Great Britain at U16 and U18 levels. In 2025/26, he picked up on goal and five assists in five games for GB U18s.
Malone also spent a year playing in Czechia as part of his development.
This season his time has been split between the Manchester Storm and the Deeside Dragons of National League One. In Deeside, he’s picked up an impressive eight goals and eight assists for 16 points in 10 games, but the National League with Phantoms is a step up in standard.
Phantoms coach Nathan Pollard said: “Theo is an exciting young player who skates well, shoots the puck hard and reads the game extremely well. He’s one of the hottest prospects in the country, and we’re looking forward to helping him develop while seeing what he can bring to the team.”
Malone will make his Phantoms debut at Planet Ice on Sunday (5.30pm face off) – the city side’s only game of the weekend. He joins a team next-to-bottom in the table with just one win in their last 10 matches.
