Ducks Defenseman Scores Hat Trick in 17th NHL Season In a remarkable display of skill and determination, Anaheim Ducks defenseman John Carlson achieved a lifelong goal by scoring a hat trick in his 17th season in the National Hockey League. The feat is a testament to Carlson's enduring passion for the game, as well as his ability to adapt and thrive in the ever-changing landscape of professional hockey. At 35 years old, Carlson's hat trick is a notable milestone, especially considering the physical demands of the sport and the increasing rarity of players reaching such a high level of performance in their late 30s. As the Ducks look to build on their current season, Carlson's resurgence is a welcome boost to the team's chances of success.
