The 1.91 m tall center first played for the Strathroy Rockets in a lower-class Canadian junior league in Ontario , before the attacker from the 2001/02 season for the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds went on the ice in the Ontario Hockey League , for which Carter was active for a total of four seasons.

As a result, he signed a new contract in Philadelphia in November 2010 that should bring him a total salary of $ 58 million over the next eleven years.

On June 23, 2011, however, Carter was transferred to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Jakub Voráček and a first and third round suffrage in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft .
