MLN Newswire - www.mlntherawfeed.com – Moline, IL- The Quad City Flames announced today that Tim Taylor has resigned his position as Team President to pursue another opportunity in the hockey industry. Taylor leaves the team after three seasons in the Quad Cities.

Taylor was responsible for organizing the purchase of the Quad City hockey franchise by QC Sports Ventures and for bringing the American Hockey League to the i wireless Center.

I would also like to thank all of the corporate partners, season ticket holders, media outlets and the entire QCA community for their support during my three years in the Quad Cities. We will take countless memories and friendships with us for the next chapter in our lives.”

“We thank Tim and wish him and his family all the best with the new opportunity,” said Flames C.E.O. Neil Bossola. “He was a valuable part of our organization over the last three years, and will be missed.”
