ICE HOCKEY

The Long Beach Ice Dogs have signed defenseman Mike Crowley of the Mighty Ducks, Coach John Van Boxmeer announced.

TENNIS

Geoff Carter, whose boys’ tennis teams at Los Alamitos have won five Sunset League titles in the last five years, is adding to his duties. He will take over as girls’ tennis coach at Estancia High, where he replaces Dave Herbert, the school said.

Carter, 30, led the Griffins’ tennis team to the Southern Section Division I semifinals last season, where it was defeated by Woodbridge. Los Alamitos, ranked No. 1 in the county for much of the season, finished 22-2. Los Alamitos has won 34 consecutive league matches and has lost only one of 50 league matches during Carter’s tenure. His overall record is 89-11.

Carter, who hopes to land a full-time teaching position at Estancia, inherits a program that has failed to reach the playoffs the last two seasons. In Herbert’s four years, Estancia was 40-38, but only 12-28 in the Pacific Coast League.

Carter attended Cypress High and played baseball at San Diego State before graduating from Long Beach State.

VOLLEYBALL

Lewis Carlotta will succeed Dale Hall as boys’ and girls’ volleyball coach at Estancia. Carletta, 21, has coached the boys’ junior varsity team at Estancia the last three seasons.

Hall, who compiled an 8-28 record in three seasons as girls’ coach at Estancia and a 12-39 record in four seasons as boys’ coach, stepped down for personal reasons, Estancia girls’ Athletic Director Nancy Ferda said.

Carlotta graduated from Santiago High and played for Rancho Santiago College’s club team. Carletta attends Orange Coast College.

The museum includes more than 10,000 sports-related pieces of memorabilia collected by Hamilton since he was 12. Since creating the nonprofit foundation nearly five years ago, more than 2,700 children have been treated to meetings at the museum with sports personalities.
