Calen Carr's senior season in MLS did not turn out as planned for the University of California product. After earning playing time in his rookie season of 2006 and over doubling his number of starts and minutes played in 2007, Carr suffered a set back in 2008. The speedy forward suffered a severe knee sprain in early July, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. Carr has a history of scoring goals for the Fire in crucial matches, including a dramatic game-winning assist on Oct. 21 against Los Angeles to help Chicago advance to the 2007 MLS Cup Playoffs and tallying three goals during the Fire's 2006 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championship title run. But in 2009, his playing time was limited. The Fire coaching staff will be looking for a fully recovered Carr to once again bring his speed to the Fire attack in 2010.
