#CarconeMVP

The Roadrunners enter the Playoffs with the AHL's leading scorer over the regular season, forward Mike Carcone. The 26-year-old was officially recognized as the winner of the John B. Sollenberger Trophy on Sunday, April 16 after amassing career highs and Roadrunners team records with 31 goals, 54 assists, and 85 total points this season, which all represent career highs and Roadrunners franchise records. The award adds to the list of accolades for Carcone this season after he was voted a First Team AHL All-Star on April 13, was named the AHL Player of the Month in December, and represented the Roadrunners and the Pacific Division at the AHL All-Star Classic in February. The team launched the #CarconeMVP campaign earlier this month in an effort to recognize the third-year Roadrunner for the 2022-2023 AHL's Les Cunningham Award Winner, which is given to the league's Most Valuable Player as voted on by AHL media and players.
