About The Team

The Quad City Storm were founded in 2018 after the former team in town (Quad City Mallards of the ECHL) was planning to fold. A brand new ownership group took over the reigns, they joined the SPHL, and have been playing in the league since their 2018-2019 inaugural season.

What do players say?

"Loved playing in Moline for my 1st year pro. Suiting up in front of the home crowd was always fun. The team had a good setup for us away from the rink and I enjoyed a few of the restaurants and bars in town. My favorite had to be Barrel House."
