After some short stints in the NHL and time as captain of the San Diego Gulls of the AHL, Sam Carrick was given a full-time role with the Ducks two seasons ago, and he's made the most of it. The 31-year-old grinder had a career-high 11 goals in 64 games with Anaheim in 2021-22 and he's been a mainstay on the Ducks' forward corps ever since.
Carrick's brother Trevor is a member of the Ducks organization, currently playing with the Gulls. Along with their brother Josh, they own Carrick Bros. Maple, a collection of maple syrup, maple water, granulated maple sugar and maple cream. The family farm is located in South Algonquin, Ontario.
