MOLINE, Ill. (December 3, 2013) - Quad City Mallards forward Thomas Frazee has been named 50/50 Central Central Hockey League Rookie of the Month for November, the Mallards announced today in conjunction with the CHL.

Frazee scored five goals and collected a dozen assists for 17 points while posting a plus/minus rating of +13 in 11 games in November. Frazee finished November riding a five-game point-scoring streak (4-7-11) and capped off the month by setting a Mallard single game season high for assists (4) and matching a team season high for points (4) in a 9-3 drubbing of the Tulsa Oilers last Saturday. That contest was Frazee's fifth multiple-point game of November. He notched at least two points in each of the Mallards' three games last week and totaled nine points (three goals and six assists) over that stretch.

On the season, Frazee is tied for eighth in the league in plus/minus (+10). Among CHL rookies, he ranks second in assists (12), is tied for third in goals (17) and is tied for sixth in goals (5).

Frazee is the second Mallard in as many days to earn league-wide honors. Jeff Lee was named CHL Player of the Week yesterday.

Prior to joining the Mallards, the 23-year old Frazee scored seven goals and totaled 22 points in 16 games for Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario last season. The 6' 3", 210-pound North Vancouver native first arrived at Lakehead midway through the 2011-12 season, a campaign Frazee began with the ECHL's Bakersfield Condors. Frazee scored once and picked up three assists in 13 games as a Condor before making the move to the university ranks.

Frazee spent five-plus seasons in the major junior Western Hockey League, skating for the Portland Winter Hawks, Medicine Hat Tigers, Moose Jaw Warriors, Regina Pats and Kamloops Blazers between 2006 and 2011. Frazee's final junior campaign was his most productive. He scored 31 goals and notched 72 points in 70 games while splitting the 2010-11 season between Regina and Kamloops. In all, Frazee recorded 72 goals and 188 points in 313 career WHL games.
