Ex-P.E.I. Rocket goalie Evan Mosher has signed with the Quad City Mallards of the Central Hockey League today.

Mosher, now 23, spent three full seasons with the Rocket from 2008-11, and parts of the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons. The Conception Bay South, N.L. native was selected in the fifth round by the Rocket back in 2006.

In 117 regular season games with the Rocket during his five-year QMJHL tenure, Mosher posted a 50-57 record with a 3.17 goals against average and a 0.902 save percentage. He had his best season in 2010-11 as an overeager, playing in 57 games, posting a 25-31 record with a 2.79 goals against average and a 0.918 save percentage.

The last three seasons, Mosher played with Acadia University of the CIS. This past season, the five-foot-11, 176-pound frame posted a 2.12 goals against average and a 0.919 save percentage in 22 games, posting a 17-5 record.

In a team press release, Mallards General Manager Terry Ruskowski said Mosher is very good young goaltender coming off a great season in college hockey.

"He’s an exciting prospect and has had a lot of success both in junior and at Acadia and has the potential to make the next step.”
