In addition to his hockey career, he operates a since 2003 Hip-Hop - label called "Big Up Entertainment" .

Career

The Canadian began his career as a hockey player in the Greater Toronto Area in the Metro Junior A Hockey League . He was then selected in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft in the tenth round at a total of 220th position by the Québec Nordiques . First, however, he moved to Michigan State University for four years . In his third season he was nominated as one of ten finalists for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award for best player in the US college leagues.

After his player rights were transferred to the Washington Capitals in April 1996 , Carter began his professional career in the American Hockey League in the 1996/97 season , where he was used for the Capitals' farm team , the Portland Pirates . At the same time, he completed 19 missions for Washington in the NHL. During the season, the winger was given to the Boston Bruins , for which he then played three more seasons. During the 2000/01 season he moved to the Edmonton Oilers in the barter business that brought Bill Guerin to Boston, where he recorded the most successful season of his career the following season with 60 scorer points. After an interlude with the New York Rangers , Carter returned to the Washington Capitals in January 2004 in exchange for Jaromír Jágr . There it held him again only 19 games before he was given to the Los Angeles Kings .

On August 16, 2005, he signed a contract for one million Canadian dollars for the 2005/06 season with the Vancouver Canucks , where he played in an attacking formation, the so-called "Brothers Line" , with the twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin . For the 2006/07 season Carter moved to the Columbus Blue Jackets , where he received a one-year contract. In late February 2007 he was transferred to the Carolina Hurricanes . At the end of the season in the summer of 2007 he did not receive a new contract for the time being, but was invited to the training camp by the Edmonton Oilers , but could not recommend himself. In November 2007 he was finally signed by HC Lugano , where he scored eight points in 15 games.

International

Anson Carter represented his home country Canada for the first time at the Junior World Championship in 1994 and contributed to winning the gold medal with five points.

At the 1997 World Cup he ran for the first time for the men's national team and won the gold medal with it. He was able to repeat this success in 2003 when he scored the decisive goal in the overtime of the final. The Toronto-born ice hockey player considers this event - along with his first goal - to be his greatest moment as a hockey player.
