Quad City Mallards News Release
Moline, IL-The United Hockey League announced today that Mallards rookies Mike Kompon and Robert Gherson have been named to the UHL All-Rookie Team. The honors mark the eighth consecutive season that a Mallard has appeared on the All-Rookie Squad.
Robert Gherson is the goaltender on the UHL's All-Rookie Team. He ranked second in the league in goals against average (2.25) and third in save percentage (.925). The Toronto native went 24-12-7 in 45 games played this season. Gherson follows Jeff Reynaert (who, due to a statistical anomaly was on the All-Rookie Team two times) as the third consecutive Mallard goaltender to be named to the All-Rookie Team.
Forward Mike Kompon led all UHL rookies in goals (39), assists (51) and points (90). Kompon also ranked first amongst UHL first-year players in power-play goals (17) and power-play points (33). He was second in shots (230), plus-minus (plus 25) and game-winning goals (five) amongst UHL rookies.
Both Kompon and Gherson were assigned to the Quad Cities by former Mallards Coach Matt Shaw. Shaw is currently an assistant coach with the American League's Houston Aeros, one of six AHL teams that have a working agreement with the Mallards.
The Mallards are back on home ice for Games Three and Four of their Quarterfinal Round Series with Muskegon. Game Three is Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. at The MARK. After a two-day layoff, Game Four is set for Friday at 7:00 p.m. Tickets to both games are available at The MARK box office or via phone at (563) 326-1111.
