Mallards Ink Rookie Blue Liner Waller

August 1, 2011 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
Quad City Mallards News Release


MOLINE, Ill. (August 1, 2011) - The Quad City Mallards of the "AA" Central Hockey League today announced they have signed defenseman Quinn Waller. Per club policy, no contract terms were announced.

Waller, 25, collected 20 assists in 30 games while helping propel Adrian College to the NCAA Division III national title game as a senior last season. The Windsor, Ontario, native produced better than a point per game over four years as a Bulldog. Waller scored 15 goals and totaled 123 points in 116 career collegiate games while helping Adrian to four straight Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association championships and NCAA Frozen Four berths each of the last two years. Waller was either a captain or assistant captain each of his four years at Adrian. He was named to both the MCHA All-Conference and All-Academic teams three times.

Waller arrived at Adrian after capping off a five-year tour of the junior ranks that saw him play for the Ontario Provincial League's Collingwood Blues, Couchiching Terriers and Vaughan Vipers and the Northern Ontario's League's North Bay Skyhawks before helping the Aurora Tigers- for whom he served as captain- to the 2007 OPJHL title and the Canadian national junior A championship.

"Getting a player who has captained the last two programs he's played for- one of which he led to a championship- speaks volumes about the type of character we are getting," said Mallards head coach and general manager David Bell. "Quinn is a puck-moving D-man who is very responsible in his own end."

Waller will see at least one familiar face when he arrives in the Quad Cities- the Mallards announced the signing of Waller's Adrian teammate Brad Fogal last month.

Waller joins Fogal, Obi Aduba, Jared Brown, Eric Giosa, Joel Gasper, Jason Kostadine, Karl Linden, Brandon Marino, David McKee and Darren McMillan to bring the number of signings announced by the Mallards for the 2011-12 season to 11.

Season tickets for the Flock's 2011-12 campaign are now on sale. Mallard season ticket holders receive significant savings and a host of exclusive benefits. For more season ticket information, fans can contact the Mallards at (309) 277-1364 or tickets@myqcmallards.com.
