MARINO RE-SIGNS WITH MALLARDS

07/11/2011

The Quad City Mallards of the “AA” Central Hockey League today announced they have re-signed right wing Brandon Marino. Per club policy, no contract terms were announced.

Marino, 25, scored ten goals and totaled 38 points in 58 games last season. Marino turned pro with the Mallards in 2009-10, scoring 13 times and recording 44 points during his rookie season.

“I look forward to Brandon bringing the tenacity he’s shown in his first two years with the Mallards to the in-your-face style of game we want to play this season,” said Mallards head coach and general manager David Bell.

Before joining the Mallards, Marino helped Cinderella story Bemidji State to a berth in the 2009 NCAA Frozen Four. The 5’ 9”, 185-pound Riverside, California, product scored seven goals and notched 19 points in 36 games in 2008-09 and rang up 15 goals and 51 points in 116 games over his four years as a Beaver. Marino played junior hockey for three seasons in the British Columbia and North American leagues before enrolling at BSU.


Off the ice, Marino is a certified personal trainer and performance enhancement specialist accredited by the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Marino will put his personal training skills to work during his time away from the rink when he returns to the Quad Cities.

“Whether someone’s just looking to live a healthy lifestyle or you want a strict routine to prepare for an athletic event, I look forward to helping,” said Marino.

Marino joins fellow returnees Eric Giosa and Joel Gasper to bring the number of signings announced by the Mallards for the 2011-12 season to three.
