Long-time Ducks\u2019 broadcaster Steve Carroll will be inducted into the Southern California Sports Broadcasters Hall of Fame on Jan. 13, 2026. Carroll is in the midst of his 27th season as the audio play-by-play commentator for the Ducks\u2019 audio broadcast network, Ducks Stream. He has had a 50-year career as a play-by-play announcer and joined the Ducks in the 1999-00 season. He is expected to broadcast his 2,000th game with Anaheim this season, an incredible feat worthy of recognition. While the audio color commentary announcers have changed time and time again, Carroll has been a staple in Southern California.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteve has been an identifying radio voice of the Ducks for over 25 years, and his call is synonymous with the team,\u201d said Southern California Sports Broadcasters President<\/a> Pete Arbogast. \u201cWhen you tune in, you don\u2019t have to ask what game you\u2019re listening to\u2026you know it\u2019s Ducks hockey. Those are the kind of people that belong in the Hall of Fame.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve Carroll\u2019s Broadcasting History<\/p>\n

With 50 years in the industry, Carroll\u2019s broadcasting history runs deep<\/a>. He has called games for five additional hockey teams: the Des Moines Bucaneers, Nashville Knights, New Haven Nighthawks, New Orleans Brass, and Philadelphia Flyers. The broadcaster\u2019s talents have not been limited to just hockey, though, as he also has been the voice of a handful of\u00a0major and minor league baseball\u00a0teams, including the\u00a0Los Angeles Angels, Huntsville Stars,\u00a0Iowa Cubs,\u00a0Nashville Sounds, and\u00a0New Orleans Zephyrs. He also had stints with the\u00a0United Soccer Leagues\u2019\u00a0New Orleans Storm\u00a0and\u00a0Vanderbilt University\u00a0basketball, and his career began with the Mineral Area Junior College\u2019s men\u2019s basketball team. <\/p>\n

His career history is not just in playcalling, either. Carroll has also worked\u2013and still works\u2013 as a newswriter, currently writing for the team\u2019s official website. He also spent time in the Brass\u2019 communications, media relations, and corporate sales departments. Additionally, he often serves as an emcee for charity events and during the summer months when he is not calling games. <\/p>\n

About Southern California Sports Broadcasters<\/p>\n

Founded in 1958, Southern California Sports Broadcasters (SCSB)<\/a> is a non-profit organization that serves broadcast professionals. The organization was created by Tom Harmon, a broadcaster, after being shut out of a locker room following a World Series game. Harmon wanted the media, not just the press, to be allowed access to players, coaches, and locker rooms to expand public access to sports and their superstars, and get more fans interested and showing up at the box office. Now, the organization focuses on networking and social events, and has made it part of its mission to honor stand-out individuals for both lifetime and special achievements in their field. <\/p>\n

The SCSB Hall of Fame honors those who have made special contributions to the broadcasting landscape in Southern California. Carroll was chosen as one of the few to be inducted into the Hall of Fame from a list of elite broadcasters from the area, including Steve Hartman, Tommy Hawkins, Doug Krikorian, Ted Leitner, Rory Markas, Dennis Packer, Brad Pye, Jr., Jim Rome, Fernando Valenzuela, and Bill Walton. Hartman and Pye, Jr., will also be inducted this year.<\/p>\n

Carroll Speaks About Induction<\/p>\n

Carroll was honored to be included in this year\u2019s list of semi-finalists and ultimately chosen as one of three broadcasters to be inducted into the SCSB Hall of Fame. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor for me and my wife, Rhonda, to be recognized by such a prestigious organization and to join the many top broadcasters to have been honored in Southern California,\u201d said Carroll via the team\u2019s website<\/a>. \u201cOver my career and the numerous places I\u2019ve had the pleasure to work, I\u2019ve done what I love, and I am grateful to be a voice of the Anaheim Ducks for the last 25 years. From the time I began to now, it\u2019s been an incredible journey over 50 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The recognition is well-deserved for Carroll, and he will continue to be a voice for the team as they enter their 32nd season of play. The Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place at Lakeside Golf Club in Burbank. <\/p>\n
