This past season for the Phantoms was one with certainly no shortage of compelling storylines, from start to finish. Between new additions stepping up, the goalie carousel, and the constant swings in momentum game over game on the team level, there was excitement everywhere you looked. But with all of this taken into account, there was perhaps no more rewarding storyline to see unfold than the resurgence of Zayde Wisdom across this season.
Having just completed his fourth professional season, he’s certainly ridden the highs and lows throughout that span. Making his debut in the — admittedly taxi-squad depleted — league during the COVID shortened season, he came onto the scene super hot, scoring seven goals and 18 points in 28 games as a 19 year old and setting some likely outsized expectations in the process.
