Quad City Mallards News Release


The Quad City Mallards of the "AA" Central Hockey League today announced they have waived left wing Nick DeCroo, goaltender Pat Inglis and defenseman Omar Pacha.

Over three seasons at Hobart after transferring from Bentley College, DeCroo scored 39 times and totaled 61 points in 67 games.

Inglis, 25, completed his senior season at Lake Superior State in the spring. Last year the Calgary native went 2-3-0 in eight games with a 3.43 goals against average and a .897 save percentage. The 6' 4", 200-pound Inglis went 15-26-6 in 58 career games as a Laker while turning in a 3.23 goals against average and a .898 save percentage.

Pacha, 23, spent the last three years at Division III Castleton State. In 2009-10 the Boucherville, Quebec, native scored five goals and totaled 15 points in 25 games. The 5' 11", 200-pound Pasha completed his Spartan career having scored 16 times and produced 49 points in 67 games.
