Quad City Mallards News Release
Moline, IL-Quad City Mallards President and General Manager Howard Cornfield today announced that defenseman Colin Peters has been added to the team's 2004-05 roster. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound defenseman is coming to the Quad Cities to begin his first season in pro hockey.
Peters spent four seasons at St. Cloud State University. Peters developed a reputation for his dependable stay-at-home play with the Huskies. He appeared in 143 college games scoring 21 points on six goals and 15 assists.
Peters made his pro debut earlier this month with the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League. Peters did not record a point or a penalty minute in his lone game in Manchester.
