Quad City Mallards News Release


MOLINE, Ill. - Quad City Mallards goaltender Brandon Komm has signed a professional tryout agreement with the American Hockey League's Iowa Wild, the Mallards announced today.

Komm, 26, has started one game for the Mallards since joining the team in a November 7 trade with the Idaho Steelheads. Komm stopped 26 shots while making his Mallard debut last Sunday in a 2-0 loss to the Kansas City Mavericks. Between the Mallards and Steelheads, the 6-foot-1, 181-pound Williamsville, New York native has posted a 2.96 goals against average and a .891 save percentage while going 0-3-2 in five games this season.

Komm has gone 33-32-9 with a 2.78 goals against average, a .912 save percentage and four shutouts over four professional seasons. Komm played for the Steelheads for parts of three seasons before departing for the Mallards. He first arrived in Idaho midway through the 2015-16 season after starting that campaign with the South Carolina Stingrays. He broke into pro hockey in 2014-15 with the Evansville IceMen and also played briefly for the Cincinnati Cyclones as a rookie.

Komm played four years at Bentley University before turning pro and was the Falcons' workhorse in goal each of his final three collegiate seasons. He went 47-50-13 while turning in a 2.67 goals against average, a .919 save percentage and five shutouts in 115 career collegiate games. Komm was named to the All-Atlantic Hockey Second Team after going 19-12-4 with a 2.46 goals against average, a .923 save percentage and one shutout as a senior. Komm's senior season save percentage matched a school record he originally set- along with a host of others- as a sophomore. Komm made the All-Atlantic Hockey Third Team after setting Bentley single season records for goals against average (2.41), saves (1,080), minutes played (2,237) and games played (38) as well as save percentage in 2011-12.
