Quad City Mallards News Release


MOLINE, Ill. - The Quad City Mallards have signed rookie forward Trevor Cox, the Mallards announced today.

Cox, 20, turns professional with the Mallards after scoring 18 goals and collecting 43 assists for 61 points in 56 games this season with the Western Hockey League's Medicine Hat Tigers and Vancouver Giants. The 5' 8", 170-pound Surrey, British Columbia, native spent the bulk of the campaign with Vancouver, for whom he produced 14 goals, 39 assists and 53 points in 50 games.

Cox skated for Medicine Hat for four years before being traded to the Giants earlier this season.

The Mallards return to action on home ice tonight at 7:05 p.m. against the Evansville IceMen.
