Despite leading the AHL in scoring and becoming the first Tucson Roadrunner to tally 30 goals, 50 assists and 80 points — all in the same season, to boot — Michael Carcone lost out in the MVP race Friday to…
James Kelley Special to the Arizona Daily Star The American Hockey League announced Calgary Wranglers goaltender Dustin Wolf as its 2022-23 MVP on Friday, leaving record-breaking Tucson Roadrunners forward Michael Carcone, the AHL's leading scorer this season, as a proverbial bridesmaid in the running for the league's top postseason honor.
People are also reading… While the finishing order is not released by the AHL, it can be presumed that Wolf — who also won the Aldege “Baz” Bastien Memorial Award for outstanding goalie and the Harry “Hap” Holmes Award for fewest goals allowed per game — edged Carcone and Syracuse Crunch forward Alex Barré-Boulet, who was a point behind Carcone in the league scoring race. Ontario Reign center T.J. Tynan, the league’s MVP each of the last two seasons, was likely also in the running.
Wolf's résumé is certainly just as strong, with an additional cherry on top: Calgary finished with the league's best overall record at 51-17-3-1 for 106 points. The AHL's top goalie last season too, Wolf was even better in 2022-23, leading the league with a 2.09 goals against average and .932 save percentage while playing the most games in net. He led the league in minutes, shots against and saves while posting league highs with 42 wins and seven shutouts.
Carcone set six Roadrunner records this season: goals, assists, points, power-play goals, shots on goal and longest scoring streak. The goals and shots records that he broke were his own club marks. Carcone is one of six Roadrunners to reach 100 career points, and his 151 are second behind Toronto Maple Leafs forward Michael Bunting .Whether it was Carcone or Wolf — or even Tynan — for MVP, the Pacific Division has dominated the AHL’s award lineup this season, winning seven of the 10 awards the league has given out so far.

Judge takes home run away from Ohtani in MVP robberyAaron Judge robbed fellow AL MVP Shohei Ohtani of a home run Wednesday night, leaping above the center-field fence at Yankee Stadium to keep the ball in the park before snatching it on the way down with his bare hand. With one out in the top of the first inning, Ohtani sent a high fly to deep center. The 6-foot-7 Judge went back to the wall and jumped, a little to the right of the 408-foot sign in front of Monument Park. The ball hit the heel of Judge’s glove well above the fence and caromed softly back toward the warning track. As he landed on his feet, Judge simply stuck out his right hand and made the catch.
