The American Hockey League’s most potent offensive force this season is now an All-Star for the first time in his professional career.
The AHL announced Wednesday Tucson Roadrunners forward Michael Carcone, currently the AHL’s leader in points while also third league-wide in goals and fourth in assists, as the Southern Arizona club’s lone representative for the league’s annual All-Star Classic event, set for Feb. 5 and Feb. 6 in Laval, Quebec, just outside Montreal.
Carcone spoke after scoring two goals and picking up an assist, moving his 2022-2023 AHL totals to 18 goals, 27 assists and that league-high 45 points while seeing action in 28 of Tucson’s 35 games played. Carcone, the reigning AHL player of the month after carding 10 goals and 20 points in 10 games in December, was recalled by the Coyotes on Dec. 27, scoring two goals in his six appearances before returning to Tucson this week.
Tucson head coach Steve Potvin has multiple times this season used the same language to describe Carcone. The two-day all-star event is the first of its kind since the 2020 season. The 2021 and 2022 events were effectively canceled amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While Carcone is the only Roadrunners choice, he’s actually not the only Southern Arizona-connected individual as part of the Pacific Division team. The league announced earlier this month that Mitch Love, head coach of the Calgary Wranglers, would coach the Pacific Division team during the All-Star Classic.
