In 59 career MASL regular-season games, Carvalho tallied 43 goals and 27 assists.

Ambush co-owner, General Manager and Head Coach Jeff Locker said, “It’s been a long road making Duduca’s comeback a reality, but we know he’s as excited to return to action and contribute to our success as we are to have him back.”

Duduca said, “I am very happy to be able to play with my teammates again. To be able to feel the atmosphere of The Family Arena again. And finally, to be able to see the fans again! I am confident that we will do great things this season.”
