Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL) general manager Jim Schoenfeld announced today that the team has signed former Stampede forward Andrew Carroll to a Professional Tryout (PTO) agreement. The Wolf Pack are the top affilate of the NHL's New York Rangers. He is expected to make his debut Friday when the Checkers host the Portland Pirates.

Carroll, a rookie out of the University of Minnesota-Duluth, comes to the Wolf Pack from the team's ECHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers. In 16 games with the Checkers, the 6-0, 200-pound native of Shoreview, MN scored eight goals, good for a tie for third on the Charlotte club, and added four assists for 12 points, along with 30 penalty minutes.

Last season Carroll joined the Checkers after his college season ended. He was scoreless, with two PIM, in one regular season game and chipped in two assists, with 11 PIM, in six ECHL playoff contests. In 43 WCHA games with Minnesota-Duluth in 2008-09, Carroll registered five goals and seven assists for 12 points, and served 36 minutes in penalties.

In 153 career games in four years at UMD, the 24-year-old Carroll had 29 goals and 28 assists for 57 points, plus 113 penalty minutes.

Carroll, a former captain of the Herd, played in Sioux Falls from 2003 to 2005. He appeared in 116 games, recording 85 points (45g, 40a). He led the team in scoring during the 2004-05 season, posting 54 points (32g, 22a) in 60 games.
