32 Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, April 28, 2016 | SPORTS Josh Carrick looking for OHL title with Barrie Colts By Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com Chances are milk doesn't last long once the summer comes along on the Carrick family farm near Stouffville. Or anything else in the fridge, for that matter. It's primarily in the summer that the four Carrick boys are back home together, since three of them are in the midst of hockey careers, including the youngest, Josh, a 20-year-old defenceman with the Barrie Colts. Carrick is aided by experience gleaned from the other three, who also played in the Ontario Hockey League, but is attempting to accomplish something none of the others were able to; namely, win the J. Ross Robertson Cup, presented to the OHL champions. "I definitely feel like they paved a little bit of a path for me, but once I came into the league I kind of wanted to make a name for myself," says Carrick, a stay-athome blue-liner who has become a regular in his third season with the Colts. "It was definitely a bit of a battle my first couple of years, but the competitive aspect of me helped bring my game up a bit." The family, which founded McAsphalt Industries in Toronto, moved from Stouffville to rural Goodwood in 2008, to a small farm "out in the boonies, a nice quiet spot," Carrick says. Carrick was drafted in the seventh round, 142nd overall by the Colts in 2012 and spent the next season with the Stouffville Spirit in Tier 2 before jumping up to the OHL, but played only 68 games over the next two seasons with a perennially strong Barrie team. `I definitely feel like (my brothers) paved a little bit of a path for me, but once I came into the league I kind of wanted to make a name for myself.' Finally given a regular role this season, Carrick has been mostly part of the team's third D-pairing with Cameron Lizotte, putting up 2-13-15 stats in 63 games with a plus/minus of +28. Although admittedly not much of an offensive threat, he scored twice and was named first star in a 5-2 playoff win over the North Bay Battalion, helping his team to a five-game quarter-final victory. "I definitely kind of surprised myself with that too," he jokes of the multi-goal 32 Stoufville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, April 28, 2016 | Classifieds BROWN, Helen Alice Louisa (nee Law) Passed away peacefully at Victory Manor in Lindsay on April 20, 2016 in her 88th year.

"I was just getting pucks through and on net, and definitely some lucky bounces there as well." The Colts finished second in the Eastern Conference with a record of 43-220-3 and are facing the fourth-place Niagara in the semifinals after the IceDogs' shocking sweep of top-seeded Kingston. The IceDogs are led offensively by shifty forward Josh Ho-Sang, whose incredible talent is well known to Carrick from having been teammates together in minor hockey. "I personally definitely know the skill that he has," Carrick says of Ho-Sang, who has 15 points in nine playoff games. "It's definitely scary, but I think if we stick to our game and play steady defence, we should be able to shut him down." Carrick's oldest brother, Jake, has moved on from hockey and now works at McAsphalt, while the other two are in the American Hockey League, Sam with the Toronto Marlies and Trevor with the Charlotte Checkers. Both saw time in the NHL this season, Sam with the Leafs and Trevor with the Carolina Hurricanes. Carrick could be back for an overage season in the OHL next year, but for now is focused on the task at hand, and it's a big one. Niagara won the first three games heading into Game 4 last night in St. Catharines. Terry Wilson / OHL Images Josh Carrick of the Barrie Colts is the fourth and youngest brother in his family to play in the OHL.
