Hard-Working Carrick Makes the Most of His Opportunity in Anaheim The popular longtime minor-leaguer lit the lamp Sunday in his first game up with the Ducks this season and hopes for more to come by Adam Brady @AdamJBrady / AnaheimDucks.com There were no fans in the stands when Sam Carrick scored his first goal of the season Sunday night at Honda Center, but the cheers were plenty loud coming from several locales across North America. They came from just up the road in Ontario, where Carrick's former teammates with the San Diego Gulls (which includes his brother Trevor) "erupted" on the bus heading back home from their game in Ontario. They came from 2,000 miles away in a different Ontario, the province in central Canada where family and friends were watching, going berserk and flooding him with text messages he would see after the game and the following morning.
