On the lighter side of the news, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms announced today that their newest member of the squad, he's known for being a boxer, was born on October 20th, 2022, and goes by the name Jax.
Yes, he is the Phantom's new dog, and certainly will bring lots of love to the players as their season winds on. Jax is owned by assistant equipment manager Jake Rogers. Jax has already won the hearts of many fans on social media, along with coaches and players.
There is something to be said about the love of a dog and what they can do for people. As this is not the first dog in the AHL, Jax is the first one for The Phantoms and I expect many videos and stories to come with this pooch.
