The Odyssey: An Adam Carlson Story

Goalie prospect Adam Carlson had a crazy year. He played for four different teams, the Hershey Bears (AHL), the South Carolina Stingrays (ECHL), the Indy Fuel (ECHL) and the Kansas City Mavericks (ECHL). Carlson traveled well over 3,000 miles this year.

“There’s no such thing as unpacking for me this year,” Carlson said in a phone interview in mid April when he was in Hershey. Carlson started the year in Hershey as both Vitek Vanecek and Pheonix Copley were recovering from injuries, something he was not expecting. Carlson was not the only goalie there that was expecting to be in South Carolina, goalie Parker Milner was there as well.
