During the 2011-12 season, Carrozzi joined the Reign in late November from the Colorado Eagles where he appeared in just one game. In 29 games with the Reign he held a 17-6-2-2 record and career-highs with a 0.922 save percentage and 2.27 goals-against average. The Nepean, Ontario native earned the ECHL Goaltender of the Month award for February 2012 after a stellar month of play which included combining with JF Berube for 224:14 of consecutive shutout time. Carrozzi recorded a total of three shutouts.
