Historical NotesPart of indoor Roller Hockey team uniform of the Pittsburgh Phantoms. The Pittsburgh Phantoms were former Penguins co-owner Howard Baldwin's entry into the second-year Roller Hockey International (RHI). Making their home in the Civic Arena, the Phantoms played in only one season, 1994. The Phantoms managed a second place finish in their division and secured a spot in the postseason but never returned. During this season, Erin Whitten became the first woman to play a professional hockey game for a Pittsburgh team.
