Carter hosts teens from around world at Hockey 4 Youth event (NHL/NHLPA Player Inclusion Coalition)
Carter went on to play 674 NHL games for the Washington Capitals, Boston Bruins, Edmonton Oilers, New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings, Vancouver Canucks, Columbus Blue Jackets and Carolina Hurricanes, getting 421 points (202 goals, 219 assists).
Now a studio analyst with the “NHL on TNT,” the 49-year-old, through the NHL Player Inclusion Coalition that he co-chairs with former player and ESPN analyst P.K. Subban, organized the All-Star Overtime Clinic to provide that same chance to approximately 30 teens from the Hockey 4 Youth program.
Just after the Maple Leafs and New York Islanders concluded their morning skates at Scotiabank Arena ahead of their game Monday, the teens took to the same ice which hosted NHL All-Star Weekend.
The group, made up of immigrants from countries including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Eritrea, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Kenya, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, Somalia and Sudan, had the chance to skate, show off their skills and take part in an on-ice clinic led by Carter and former Maple Leafs defenseman Mark Fraser.
