MOLINE, Ill. (February 26, 2015) - The Quad City Mallards open a key homestand that will see them play eight promotion-packed games at the iWireless Center in the first 18 days of March when they take on the Missouri Mavericks at 4:05 p.m. Sunday.
The Mallards approach their longest homestand of the season locked in a tight playoff race. The second place Mallards are two points ahead of the Tulsa Oilers in the ECHL's Central Division and three points ahead of the fourth place Rapid City Rush and Wichita Thunder. With the top four finishers qualifying for the ECHL's Kelly Cup playoffs, the homestand could prove crucial to the Mallards' postseason hopes.
Tickets for Sunday's game are available for just $5 for children 12 and under. After the game fans can join the Mallards on the ice for a postgame skate.
The Flock will welcome Tulsa to the iWireless Center next Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. Fans can get four tickets for that contest- and all Mallards Wednesday night home games- for just $20 and afterward join the team for a postgame party at T.G.I. Friday's in Moline.
The Mallards will play back-to-back games against the league-leading Allen Americans next Friday and Saturday night- March 6 and March 7- at 7:05. Next Friday brings the return of $1 Dog/$1 Beer Night presented by 97X and MetroLink. Next Saturday is John Deere Community Night. John Deere has made 2,000 tickets to that game available for just $5 while supplies last. In addition, the first 1,000 fans ages 12 and under through the doors for next Saturday evening's game will receive free Mallards youth replica jerseys courtesy of KWQC-TV6.
The Mallards will meet Missouri again on Wednesday night, March 11. On Saturday, March 14 the Mallards will wear special edition fan-designed jerseys when they take on Wichita. Those jerseys will go up for bid immediately after that game in a live auction to benefit the Genesis Health Services Foundation. A tussle with the Mavericks the following afternoon will once again bring $5 kids' tickets and a postgame skate.
The homestand concludes when the Mallards' clash with the Oilers on Wednesday night March 18 gives fans another opportunity to get four tickets for $20.
