Aeros prospects Gherson and Kompon Named to UHL All-Rookie Team

Mallards Land Players on All-Rookie Team for Eighth Consecutive Season

MOLINE, Ill. - The United Hockey League announced today that Houston Aeros prospects and Quad City Mallards rookies Mike Kompon and Robert Gherson have been named to the UHL All-Rookie Team. The honors mark the eighth consecutive season that a Mallard has appeared on the All-Rookie Squad.



Gherson is the goaltender on the UHL’s All-Rookie Team. He ranked second in the league in goals against average (2.25) and third in save percentage (.925). The Toronto native went 24-12-7 in 45 games played this season. Gherson follows Jeff Reynaert (who, due to a statistical anomaly was on the All-Rookie Team two times) as the third consecutive Mallard goaltender to be named to the All-Rookie Team.



Kompon led all UHL rookies in goals (39), assists (51) and points (90). Kompon also ranked first amongst UHL first-year players in power-play goals (17) and power-play points (33). He was second in shots (230), plus-minus (plus 25) and game-winning goals (five) amongst UHL rookies.
