MOLINE, Ill. - The Quad City Mallards have signed forward Anthony Perdicaro, the Mallards announced today.

Perdicaro, 23, joins the Mallards after scoring ten goals and totaling 17 points while piling up 109 penalty minutes in 41 games with the Rapid City Rush last season.

"Anthony is a good young player who was a significant contributor for a strong Rapid City club last year," said Mallards coach and general manager Terry Ruskowski. "He adds skill and size to our lineup and gives us more depth up front as well."

Now in his fourth season, the 6' 2", 190-pound Perdicaro, broke into professional hockey in 2009-10 when he saw action for the International Hockey League's Port Huron Icehawks and the ECHL's Toledo Walleye. The East Rockaway, New York, native then scored 22 goals and notched 35 points in 37 games with the Fayetteville FireAntz of the Southern Professional Hockey League in 2010-11.

Perdicaro completed a three-year junior career- during which he skated in the Ontario, United States, British Columbia and Quebec leagues- with the BCHL's Cowichan Valley Capitals, for whom he scored 18 times and produced 40 points in 50 games in 2008-09.
