This will be the second time in Lynx franchise history that a number will be retired, as Carroll's #3 will join F.P. Santangelo's #24 on the outfield wall at Lynx Stadium.
"We're really excited about tomorrow night," said Lynx GM Kyle Bostwick "Jamey was a great player for the Lynx and our organization is happy to be able to honour him for his contributions on the field and his tremendous work in the Ottawa community."
