He played junior hockey in Edmonton from 1923 to 1925 and turned pro with the Edmonton Eskimos in 1926-27 and played minor pro in western North America until 1928, when he joined the Springfield Indians. He led the Canadian American Hockey League in goals with 28 in 1929-30, which got him into the New York Rangers in 1930-31. Carrigan scored only 2 goals in 33 games, which got him sent back to the minors.
