This season marked the first time the team won its season opener and the team's strong play has continued. Adirondack has three players among the League's Top-10 Scorers including left wing Hugo Belanger and center Kevin St. Jacques, who are tied for fourth in scoring with 10 points each. Right wing Frank Littlejohn is tied for 10th in League scoring with eight points and is second in goals scored with six. In goal, Sergei Zvyagin has seen all the action posting a 2.75 GAA and a .903 save percentage. The Mallards seem well on their way to becoming the first team in professional hockey to ever win 50 games in five consecutive seasons.
Strong starts are commonplace for the four-time Colonial Cup finalist.
On both occasions the Mallards won the Colonial Cup. Quad City has always been known for having a potent offense and solid goaltending. This season, the Mallards are led by strong goaltending and a powerful offense. Martin Villeneuve leads the UHL with a 1.33 GAA and is tied for second with three victories. In a span of 14 days, Quad City and Flint meet four times in a rematch of the 2000 Colonial Cup Finals won by the Generals in four games.
